A New Life by Bernard Malamud

5.0

Why has no one mentioned this book to me before? I adore The Natural, and The Fixer was good, but a book such as A New Life is written to strike down all other books. It's so good you should feel ashamed if you can't claim the pleasure of having read it. Five Stars? More like a whole galaxy. I'm humbled by the beauty of this book and its remarkably perfect ending.
