📕 AUGUST READ: The Last Dekrepitzer, by Howard Langer
Howard Langer’s inventive novel, The Last Dekrepitzer, imagines what would happen if the last remaining survivor of a Hasidic sect found his way to the pre – Civil Rights American South and took on a new identity as a blues musician named Sam Lightup.
In doing so, the novel explores subjects like race, the legacy of the Holocaust, music, and God.
