A review by jasonfurman
Comedy in a Minor Key by Hans Keilson

5.0

A gem of a novella. Dutch, written right after the war, it tells the story of a young married couple sheltering an older Jewish man. The story bounces back and forth in time, organized around the events before and after the man they are hiring dies of what seems to be pneumonia.

Although not perfect, it is deeply humane and evocative.
