Despite publishing over 250 short stories and four prize-winning collections over the past forty years, Edith Pearlman has long eluded attention from all but a modest, ardent cadre of readers. That changed when her fourth book, “Binocular Vision”, was lauded last year on the cover of the New York Times Book Review. It went on to garner more splendid reviews along with a bouquet of awards, prestigious nominations and perhaps most gratifying: a wider audience.

Why does it always say Russian or Polish-American immigrants in Globe stories and obituaries? Are the subjects afraid to say they are Jewish? Just wondering (and a little irritated over this constant issue). A proud Jew.
I agree. It always says "...-American immigrant" for a Jewish surname. If it was once or twice, fine - maybe the person doesn't want to say they are Jewish. But it is often.
