Recenzii
"It’s a quick spin through Homolka’s spare, sculpted lines from the collection of Jews’ permits to the six-day war to “emaciated lovers” receiving stars from the backs of chariots. Clearly, history, and particularly Jewish history, will be the topic of this Kathryn A. Morton Prize winner, and clearly the language will be punchy and irreverent…. VERDICT: Refreshing, energetic work; many readers will enjoy."
