What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank (2012) by Nathan Englander. This is a slim collection of short stories, linked only by the fact that they are all about Jews. I must admit that I can scarcely do justice to it, because I am a slow reader and I seldom managed to get all the way through a short story at one sitting. So the stories were, for me, broken up into discrete chunks, and I would frequently end up reading the end of a story a day after reading the beginning. I got the impression, however, that these stories would be more relatable to a Jewish reader than to a Gentile like myself. I found them interesting, but not always involving, especially the stories about Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Grade: B
