Happened in the Catskills "The truth about the Catskills—unexpurgated tales of heartache and laughter."—Jerry
Stiller and Anne Meara This signature book captures the flavor of the "Borscht Belt," that fabled vacation area just "ninety minutes from Broadway." Summer romances, mambo time, menus with seven kinds of herring, musical and comedic greats getting their start, bungalows, and big hotels like Grossinger's-all come back in a rush. Through the power of oral history, more than a hundred voices share stories that span nearly a century-recalling an experience that exists now only in memory. Myrna Katz Frommer and Harvey Frommer are a husband-and-wife team specializing in oral history. The authors of such notable books as It Happened on Broadway, Growing Up Jewish in America, and It Happened in Brooklyn, they live in Lyme, New Hampshire, and both teach at Dartmouth College.
