Cienie nad rzeką Hudson by Isaac Bashevis Singer
5.0
I really enjoyed this book, it read like some sort of psychoanalysis of the characters? It’s the story of some Jews who survived the Holocaust.
There’s a lot of philosophy and psychology stuff written in a way that interests you. All the characters seemed broken, some suffered Survivor’s guilt, some were stuck in existential crisis, finding answers about God, their purpose, the world, and then you start to wonder if you know the answers too.
So many bookmarked paragraphs in this book. The tone is nostalgic, the writing is beautiful, the dialogues/monologues are interesting and my favorites has to be the metaphors!
