Last night I started Haunch, Paunch and Jowl. Published in 1923, originally as "An Anonymous Autobiography," this stream-of-consciousness novel of the immigrant Jewish experience in the sweatshops of New York's Lower East Side was actually written by Samuel Ornitz. In doing an internet search about this book, I found a fascinating column on Ornitz by none other than Harvey Pekar, published on the website Metroactive.com in 1997.
Pekar's column begins thusly:
"IF ANYONE remembers Samuel Ornitz at all today, it's as a screenwriter who was one of the Hollywood 10; his reputation as a novelist didn't survive the 1920s. Despite the neglect, Ornitz is a significant literary figure whose work deserves to be kept in print and read by anyone who cares about the evolution of the American novel.
Born in 1890, Ornitz is a link between Yiddish-speaking, foreign-born American novelists such as Anzia Yezierska and Abraham Cahan, who were mainstream stylists, and the daring Jewish fiction writers of the 1930s: Daniel Fuchs, Nathanael West and Henry Roth.
Ornitz belonged to a forgotten avant-garde movement that employed stream-of-consciousness techniques before the 1922 publication of James Joyce's Ulysses brought the method to general attention."

It's quite interesting!
