QUESTION:I've just started reading "Out of this Furnace" by Thomas Bell. I will
be making a brief presentation about it for my book club, but its too
early to determine what angle I'll be takng on it.
Has anyone read it? What did you think about it? Do you have any
suggestions as to what I should emphasize about it?
ANSWER: I'm 37 years old Jarda. And I've been out of school for a long time.
My intention was to get some insight on the book from Slovaks and/or
Slovak-Americans as *part* of my research. I am Cuban-American and
therefore cannot possibly judge the veracity of the book in its
descriptions of Slovak-American life as well as some of you could.
I do, however, know enough about Slovaks and Slovak-Americans to know
that people as rude and ungracious as you are in the definite minority.
