simonlorden 's review for:

Shylock Is My Name by Howard Jacobson
3.0

There were certainly parts of this that I enjoyed, but overall it really wasn't my thing.

Content warning for antisemitism and a relationship between a 15-year-old and a 30-year-old being central to the book. Also, there is a very casual reference to a 12-year-old "having an affair" with a married man and like... that's not... that's not an "affair" that's rape and pedophilia, what the hell even. So yeah. it's... interesting.
