Erika Dreifus

Every weekend I participate in David Abrams’s “#SundaySentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”

“Since when do Jewish people live in Short Hills?”

Source: Philip Roth, “Goodbye, Columbus,” which I had reason to re-read during the past week. (Rules of this project proscribe me from commentary—which could go on and on—as to why this sentence has stayed with me.)
