“Heirs to the Pushcart Fortune” might sound like a documentary about the Israelis currently dominating the shopping mall cart scene, but it’s not. Not a bad idea though. “Heirs” is a novel written by Harlem-born Jack Salem about a family of immigrants pursuing that ever-elusive American Dream. It begins with a 16 year old leaving the crumbling Ottoman Empire to journey to New York, and continues through the next two generations experiencing The Great Depression and World War II. The classic tale of hope, courage and determination is one that continues to inspire people to take a chance for a better life in America. Stop by Dutton’s this afternoon and you can ask Salem about his inspiration, his dreams and his own immigrant experience.
