The Fixer by Bernard Malamud
5.0
I'm no good at this reviewing malarkey. I really enjoyed this, but I'm struggling to say why. It's not the cheeriest thing you'll ever read, but it's not totally depressing either. The historical background is (I imagine) authentic - it certainly feels it, and the central character, his thoughts and sufferings are compelling.
It reminded me of Koestler and Dostoevsky. If you like those or you're happy with a big dollop of despair, injustice and what happens when good men do nothing then this will be right up your street.
