Recenzje

Adam Mansbach s latest did not put me the F**k to Sleep. Quite the opposite, this is the update to the Golem legend I ve been dreaming of since I survived Jewish Day School. Run don t schlepp to the nearest bookstore and get ready to split your kishkes laughing. Gary Shteyngart

Jewish humor goes back a long way. And to a pantheon that includes Brooks, Bruce, Seinfeld, and David, add Mansbach at its virtual apex, with acerbic wit and an absurd premise: a supernatural avenger, a folklore savior of persecuted Jews, let loose in Trump s America. Such satisfying calamity, this crisp book is easily the funniest novel I ve ever read, and yet achieves an uncanny profundity. Mansbach s voice is absolutely singular. Dan Charnas, New York Times bestselling author of Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, The Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm

Fast-paced and full of memorable characters, Adam Mansbach s The Golem of Brooklyn is both a searing and hilarious tale of how far we're willing to go to protect ourselves and our community, and who we become when we do so. Mansbach s ability to infuse wisdom, political insight, history and humor is commendable, and makes this book a page-turner. Fatimah Asghar, Carol Shields Prize-winning author of When We Were Sisters

This novel could not be any funnier or any more important. A devastating romp through history, a bonkers road trip through America, and a searing examination of the question that will determine our future: how do we confront those who hate us, and at what cost? W. Kamau Bell
