Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Krutikov's book is the most definitive and accessible work in English to date on Der Nister and his monumental novel The Family Mashber. . . . Highly recommended.

* Choice *

I think that Der Nister would have really liked Krutikov's book. It gives justice to Der Nister without making him into a saint, villain, or a misguided idealist, but instead sees him as a writer searching for his path...
