Finished The Fixer by Bernard Malamud.
REally beautiful; really terrible. Maybe not the right book for this gloomy period, still it has to be read.
More about general hate than antisemitsm in my opinion...

PattyMacDotComma How Much of These Hills Is Gold is the debut by C Pam Zhang about migrant Chinese in the American west. Not as much gold as I'd hoped.

Nichole, you just enjoy your reading when you get a moment to yourself, and don't worry about us. I don't know if you have kids at home being home-schooled as well, but whatever your circumstances, thanks for keeping the next generations engaged online!

PattyMacDotComma Elizabeth Strout deserved her Pulitzer Prize for Olive Kitteridge. Her characters are like nobody else . . . but really, they're like everybody. I loved Olive, Again
