Immigrant fictions are always hymns to persistence, to scrambling for a hard, narrow, marginal place in the newfound land. They also depend for their effectiveness on a lack of overt sentiment.

Standing before Judge Miriam Cedarbaum last week in a courtroom in lower Manhattan, Stewart's voice faltered as she asked for leniency.
