From the book - "In THE NAME OF THE GAME, master storyteller and comics innovator Will Eisner tells an epic tale spanning three generations of power and privilege won through the struggles of marriage. It is the story of three families, the Arnheims, the Obers, and the Kayns, all descendants of Jewish immigrants, and their struggle for status. As the wealthy seek to insure the family's future with marriage and heirs, and the less-well-off use it to attain wealth and social standing, Will Eisner proves that marriage is indeed the name of the game."
