Description: Hope: a Tragedy by Shalom Auslander A wonderful, twisted, trangressive, heartbreaking, true, and hugely funny book. A. L. Kennedy FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Solomon Kugel has had enough of the past and its burdens. So, in the hope of starting afresh, he moved his family to a small rural town where nothing of import has ever happened. Sadly, Kugels life isnt that simple. His family soon find themselves threatened by a local arsonist and his ailing mother wont stop reminiscing about the Nazi concentration camps she didnt actually suffer through. And when, one night, Kugel discovers a living, breathing, thought-to-be-dead specimen of history hiding in his attic, bad very quickly becomes worse. Notes A blackly comic, dangerously subversive and controversial novel from the author of the critically lauded Foreskins Lament, now published in paperback. A wonderful, twisted, transgressive, heartbreaking, true and hugely funny book. It will make very many people angry. It will also make very many people very happy A.L.
