A review by bundy23
The Fixer by Bernard Malamud

3.0

According to Malamud, life in pre-revolution Russia was actually worse for the Jews than in Auschwitz. The level of anti-semitism that exists in the world of this book is absolutely ridiculous and I'm not sure if it's the author trying to drum up sympathy for his race or just gets off on the misery of its history. I guess I'll forever think of this novel as "torture porn for Jewish intellectuals."

All that said, if it wasn't for the fact that it's pure propaganda I'd have probably given this 5 stars.
