📕 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.
