Review: Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander


I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. The subject matter is appalling, but very funny, as the blurbs say, like early Woody Allen. I can't tell you much about it without giving the plot away. Underneath all the humour are some serious ideas for consideration. What if she had survived? What difference did the new edition make? I know that makes no sense unless you've read the book, but I don't want to give anything away. There was the odd saggy moment, but it's a quick read and full of startling ideas, great Jewish humour and... well read it!
