Comedy in a Minor Key by Hans Keilson

5.0

Beautifully written, haunting, and quirkily funny, this is a bizarre hybrid of Holocaust story, human-condition drama, and black humor that could have gone on much longer than it's short 160-odd pages. Even with it's brevity, the story and characters are wonderfully imagined and fully fleshed, and the nonlinear storyline gives the novella a sense of depth and history lacking in some novels many times as long.

Deeply moving and easily relatable, without being overly weighty, this was a surprising and excellent quick read.
