Paul Goldberg: The Yid

Paul Goldberg: The Yid

(Fiction, 320 pp. 2016)

With elements of Shakespeare and Yiddish theater, a rag-tag group decides to assassinate Stalin just before the 1953 Soviet pogroms are to begin. This satirical mad-cap adventure tale effectively blends historical events, family stories and ingenious imagination.
