Summary:

"A dramatic work which examines the complex effects and aftereffects of the communal struggle against the hated tax on kosher meat in the town of Glupsk, fictive name for Berditshev, the real locale of Mendele's sharply satiric work. His authorship was quickly uncovered and town notables who identified themselves in the dramatis personae banished the author" -- Werses, Samuel. Between Invention and Reality in Mendele's Play "Di takse", in Khulyot : Journal of Yiddish Research, 10 (Winter 2007).
