Novel #2 I finished like a week ago, and it was another novel I had started last year and not finished, The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach.

It’s a book that I don’t think people would get unless they’re very tuned into Jewish culture, especially American Jewish culture, especially New York American Jewish culture. I was pretty lukewarm on the book, but I’m not sure if that’s really why —- I think it’s more that it’s a book that was extremely “of-the-moment” and it’s very clear that the moment has passed, so it’s a bit surreal looking at that moment frozen in amber. It might be less weird further in the future, or perhaps it will become even more strange. The past is a foreign country, after all.
