Rising star and award-winning comics writer Neil Kleid explores two aspects of what it's like being Jewish within America in this banded set of two highly praised graphic novels: Brownsville and The Big Kahn. Set in 1930s Brooklyn, Brownsville follows the intertwined lives of Jewish gangsters Allie Tanennbaum, Abe Reles and scores of hoods organised by Louis Lepke Buchalter as they make themselves into the most dangerous men in America. The Big Kahn is an exploration of the very nature of faith when it is discovered that Rabbi David Kahn lived a forty-year lie and was never Jewish.
