Thoughts Fred Uhlman's novella REUNION?

1 week ago 14

I'd never heard of this book but picked it up blindly because it was only a dollar at the thrift and I like those Everyman hardcovers. Had no idea what I'd find inside but my God what a great little book. It's about 70 pages long and I was able to read it in one sitting. At the last sentence, I literally lept off my chair in triumphant joy. No book has ever made me do that before.

I'd hate to spoil anything for those who haven't read it, but it's mostly a book about the friendship between a Jewish boy and his Gentile friend during the rise of the Third Reich. It mirrors what's happening today rather starkly and even touches on topics like Palestine and Zionism.

I can't recommend this one enough and it feels like no one ever talks about it. Even a search through reddit brings little results.
