Excerpt from The Jews of Barnow: Stories Although the high literary art which Franzos pos sesses (the finer quality of which has been preserved in this translation) is fully admitted by intelligent Jews, the subject-matter of his book itself, its raison d'???tre, they have by no means relished. In a review of The Jews of Barnow, published some months ago in a leading New York journal, it was asserted by the writer that, from internal evidence, Franzes must be a Jew. This statement was directly controverted by a Jewish weekly of the highest standing. Still, we must believe that the acumen of the New York reviewer was not at fault, because in a late number of Blackwood's Magazine, which contained an interesting criticism of Franzos and his book, it was asserted that the author is or was a Jew. No man not born a Jew, perfectly familiar with all the phases of Jewish life in Eastern Galicia, and in sympathy with them, could have created this book.
