THE PINK SUIT

by Marilyn Hirsh ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1970

So what else is nu? Conspicuous raiment with a Jewish cast, precisely the pink suit that's Mama's bargain and Eugene's humiliation. . . that he dons to the sound of ""ungrateful sons"" and hides in the dark at the movies. . . that a fat lady in pink camouflages and then spills tea on. . . ""Gladly Eugene took the suit to the cleaner's Sadly he went to pick it up. But it wasn't there. They sent him to the lost and found"" where he finds a boy who hates his plaid suit as much as Eugene hates his pink one. The trade made, the boy chortles ""l bet nobody else has a pink suit."" ""I bet you're right,"" says Eugene. ""Wear it in good health."" Ethnic actuality not stereotypes on the Lower East Side of the Twenties--wry, pungent, exuberant as told and drawn.
