Zelig

Franco himself is the Zelig of the literary world these days.

He is the Zelig from hell, a Francostein monster, a send-up of democracy and a travesty of meritocracy.

The New York Times called Gorseki the “Zelig of New York Fashion Week” last year.

And the more details I learned about his Zelig-like life story, the more incredible it seemed.

The Bellman, in which “Zelig” appeared, is remarkable for the brilliance and power of its fiction.

I suppose there can be no doubt that “Zelig” is by all odds the most nobly conceived and finely wrought story of the year.

Of the many men and women employed there, only one person had the distinction of getting fellowship from old Zelig.

With them the cantor signed a contract by which Zelig was bound to him as a kind of musical apprentice for three years.

In six months he could read music so well that they called him "Little Zelig, the music-eater."
