Adam Biro is a French publisher who was born in Hungary. These are selections from the 22 whimsical stories, most of which he heard from his grandfather. Most Eastern European Jewish jokes start with “Two Jews are traveling on a train,” says Biro, and he goes on to tell stories in which humor and sadness have equal weight.
