Zane Grey­berg might be just as zany as Mel Brooks. If you enjoyed Brooks’ par­o­d­ic humor in his clas­sic com­e­dy, Blaz­ing Sad­dles, then a quick read through Greyberg’s col­lec­tion of short sto­ries will amuse you in much the same way. 
But do not expect to catch every joke in each of 3:10 to Boca​’s sto­ries, unless you have your Yid­dish dic­tio­nary on hand. Grey­berg fills this short sto­ries with words and phras­es that might fly over your head unless you are up to speed on the lan­guage. Nev­er­the­less, his sto­ries, like ​“A Fist­ful of Drei­dels” and ​“The Good, the Bad and the Meshuganeh,” are filled with insight­ful humor, and are espe­cial­ly fun­ny if you are famil­iar with clas­sic Spaghet­ti West­erns and oth­er Old West films from the 1960’s like the Wild Bunch or The Mag­nif­i­cent Sev­en, which Grey­berg par­o­dies as ​“The Mag­nif­i­cent $7 (Now Marked Down to $5.98).”
With a pol­ished prose style and an abil­i­ty to gen­tly pace his sto­ries from begin­ning to end, Greyberg’s sto­ry col­lec­tion is an excel­lent book to pick up if you are in the mood for an easy read. And by end of the book you might find your­self want­i­ng to read more from him. After all, it’s not every day you come across orig­i­nal char­ac­ters like Tuchas and The Man with No Keepah.
