Click on the URL below for a true story written by Eric Brotman about his unforgettable grandmother. The novelist and screenwriter, Paul Auster, read it on NPR’s National Story Project in May of 2000.

Editorial Note: Scroll down the web page until you see the name “Jerry Yellin,” the contributor listed just before Eric. There’s an audio icon just above Mr. Yellin’s name. If you click on it, and then advance 2:58 into the audio content, you’ll hear the start of Eric’s story. (The audio icon at the very *top* of the web page contains different content.)

The written text of Eric’s story is found at the bottom of the page, below Yellin’s story.
