A review by zeyer_ayngenem
Kaddish.com by Nathan Englander

3.0

As usual with Englander lots of imagery and detail that really resonate. Kaddish.com gave me immense anxiety while reading, which is one testament to its Jewish authenticity. It’s tempting for me to drash the novel in a way where it is actually a very elaborate critique of what I think the book is doing...but the protagonists own constant, obsessive, myopic exegesis is all the unhinged analyzing and justifying I can handle today. A weird one to be honest: I saw a myself in our antihero (in some challenging ways), but also felt unsettled and alienated by a lot of it. The ending left me unsatisfied.
