Address Unknown
by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor
The post-Christmas period is the best time to catch up on books that have been languishing on my to-be-read list, and I sped through this while piled on the sofa surrounded by multiple animals. This epistolary novella is an exploration of the descent into anti-Semitism that Taylor saw displayed around her in 1938, when this was written. I found the format to be very interesting, and it was intriguing to show how letters have power. The foreword by her son was one of the most interesting parts of the book, writing about how the novella came to be, and later how it became a classic. I'm not sure if the length of it made it more powerful or less - on the one hand, it showed a rapid descent, over few pages, and a few months too. However, I think it could've been a little more hard-hitting had it been longer.
