The House of Moses All-Stars Hardcover - 1996
by Charley Rosen
This bittersweet comic novel follows the House of Moses All-Stars--a third-rate Jewish basketball team--as it crosses the country seeking hope, redemption, and a winning season. Charlie Rosen is also the author of Have Jump Shot-Will Travel, which was nominated for the National Book Award.
From the rear cover
Here is the story of an all-Jewish basketball team traveling in a hearse through Depression-era America in search of redemption and big money. A hilarious road novel, The House of Moses All-Stars is also a passionate portrayal of a young Jewish man struggling to realize his dreams in a country struggling to recover its ideals. Charley Rosen gives us basketball as a metaphor for life. As the members of this motley crew travel west to California through an anti-Semitic land that disdains and rebuffs them, they discover that their nation is as confused as they are - torn between its fears of foreigners and poverty, and its belief in democratic ideals of tolerance and opportunity. Told with a rueful eye, The House of Moses All-Stars looks critically and lovingly at what it means to be an outsider in America.
