A review by ronanmjdoyle
For the Relief of Unbearable Urges by Nathan Englander

4.0

Great at its peak, absurdist yarns with a great balance of pith and pathos. Felt a few stories slightly outstayed the welcome, though never much held me up from moving quickly through the book as a whole. Jewish culture and character works really well as the common thread of an otherwise disparate batch.
