How? By speaking Yiddish, employing terms that convey an attitude -- part plucky self-assertion, part ironic fatalism. When Dick schmoozes, when Jane kvetches, when their children fress noodles at a Chinese restaurant, the clash of cultures produces genuine hilarity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEllis Weiner\u003c\/b\u003e is the only person, dead or alive, who has published in the \u003ci\u003eNational Lampoon\u003c\/i\u003e (where he was an editor), Spy (where he wrote a column), and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e (where he still appears).
