libraryfrog's review against another edition
4.5
Very excellent story telling and insight. Dark and gritty, honest and doesn’t shy away from showing the problematic aspects of many aspects of society both Jewish and goyish. Definitely modern Sholem Aleichem vibes, I really appreciated the nods to Yiddish storytelling. Worth the read because it makes you think and tells a winding story you won’t forget. I read it in smaller chunks because it is heavy.
