I was so looking forward to reading this story of the Yiddish cowboy who rides his way through Nazi-occupied lands, six guns a-blazin’. That’s not exactly how the story goes, but our hero somehow makes it alive out of the closest shaves, even when the people right next to him aren’t so lucky. It’s a hero’s journey for sure, and also fun romp, if you can call a Holocaust novel a romp (or fun, for that matter). Our young cowboy has a physical defect, by the way, that may remind Gary Shteyngart fans of that author’s ‘Absurdistan.’
