About “Tachles”
The volume gathers short stories and punchlines from the Yiddish tradition. Readers quickly notice how much wit a short sentence can hold.
The punchlines revolve around everyday worries and the big questions of existence, and again and again humor proves to be a weapon against trouble and resignation.
Whether you enjoy the anecdotes one at a time or read them in one go, the collection shows how much practical wisdom a joke can contain. Which punchline you remember at the end is a matter of taste.
