Synopsis

This hilarious novel is an inside portrait of orthodox, post-Holocaust Judaism in a place that it never expected to be. It's the story of Yoine Levkes, boy hasid of the Canadian Prairies, his refugee parents confronted with dying people, and ailing culture, the perils of near orphanhood, the allures of Sabina Mandelbroit - too religious to be normal and too normal not to realise this. Humour, satire, irony, and more. It's all here in Michael Wex's first novel, Shlepping the Exile, which has also been publishing in German.
