En la novela 'El Asistente' de Bernard Malamud, Frank Alpine, un vagabundo que huye de su pasado, se encuentra con Morris Bober, un tendero de Brooklyn con dificultades. Viendo una oportunidad para expiar sus pecados, Frank se convierte en el asistente de Bober y se encarga de la tienda cuando el dueño enferma. Pero es la hija de Bober, Helen, quien le da a Frank una verdadera razón para quedarse, incluso cuando empieza a robar en la tienda. Considerada una de las grandes novelas judeo-americanas, 'El Asistente' es una mirada clásica a las divisiones sociales y raciales de un país aún en su infancia, y una evocación impresionante de la experiencia inmigrante: de circunstancias estrechas y grandes expectativas.
