A review by debr
The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander

5.0

This book is hands-down brilliant. This is Kafka meets Joseph Geller meets Vargas Llosa kind of brilliant. The deeply cynical satire, the brilliance of how he articulates the senseless power of dictatorship, the depth and complexity of the relationship between the husband and wife- I am just amazed by how much incredibly rich material is contained within this book. Bravo, Englander!
