There is a Jewish character, and every single time he is mentioned someone says something anti-semitic, without fail.lotseliz's review against another edition

myaharmon's review against another edition
3.0
It was really fun at first! At first. Jake’s introspection felt especially prominent in the beginning; combined with the introduction of multiple characters and all-too-familiar dynamics, it was easy to get attached to the novel.
I was put off by certain antisemetic remarks in the beginning, and they only became more prominent. I wasn’t necessarily put off by the minor remarks at first, but once I was far enough through the book, the anti-semitism was apparent and aggressive.
I lost interest as the focus of the book shifted towards the nuances of their travel. I just don’t really give a shit about Paris

It was a good book! It was just SO antisemitic and racist, and that’s not excusable by historical context.
