Tova Reich

If Norman G. Finkelstein, the author of the groundbreaking book The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, had written a novel instead of his well-researched historical analysis ... then Tova Reich’s My Holocaust: A Novel might well have been the result. It was with the clarity of Finkelstein kicking around in the back of my head that I made my way through Reich’s strangely compelling and highly entertaining novel. That said, although I have never met show more Finkelstein, I doubt he would have been able to nail the absurdity of holocaust worship with Reich’s comic timing.

another very unpleasant ipad book brimming with horrible taste and terrible jokes. i do not appreciate making humor out of the holocaust. this book was either loved or hated, and i give her credit for both trying and for making her humor so obvious. no more tova reich for me.

The eight stories collected in this volume are all populated by seekers-of holiness, illumination, liberation, meaning, love. Their journeys unfold in the US, Israel, Poland, China, often in the very heart of the Jewish world, and are rendered with an insider's authority.

Repulsed after 1 chapter. Not for me!
