Book Review — The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic read. I don’t see a lot of (good) books about Jewish culture and folklore, and this was super refreshing. It is also a very good satire and commentary on the social issues going on for the last however many years. As a Jew, I can relate to a lot of this book. But being Jewish is not even half of why I like this book so much. Not only do we get the story about Len and Miri, but we get histories about The Golem interspersed throughout the book — from biblical sources, from folkloric sources, and from history itself. And Mansbach connects each of these histories to the issues in this book. <a href="https://medium.com/book-reviews-by-a-siegel/book-review-the-golem-of-brooklyn-by-adam-mansbach-141164ec415b">Visit Now</a>
