*A March pick for the Jewish Book Club

I found this little epistolary novella really uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. I feel like I can see its importance, and yet I did not actually "enjoy" it. It was brutally difficult. Sad and frightening on so many levels. Also interesting reading the foreward and the notes that preceded the book, that this was actually prescient. That gives me chills. Because if the author thought this up at the time, then the consciousness was already emerging and one can see that people of the time had choices to make in the moment - in real time. And failed to make the right ones. The articulation of the political reasoning reflects arguments we hear today, that continue to dehumanize and excuse power, greed, and selfishness, in the name of politics or religion. And this is not history, it is happening all over again in front of our eyes.

I say it again, love always wins. Love always wins. Love Always Wins.
