Singer is my favorite fiction writer of all time. This dark fable set in a small Polish village in 1648 depicts the moral corruptions and transgressions that sweep up the townspeople as they embrace the deceitful and profane teachings of a false prophet. It is a thrilling work, written with a vividness and verisimilitude that feels like an historical account.
very quick read, beautiful book, no idea how to describe it - i linked the free pdf version but it’s also in most libraries and bookstores (pls go local or use bookshop dot com, death to am*zon)
