Shlepping the Exile

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, an ailing culture, the perils of near orphanhood, the allures of Sabina Mandelbroit¦ too religious to be normal and too normal not to realize this¦ Humor, satire, irony¦ and more. It’s all here in Michael Wex’s first and only novel”Shlepping the Exile which has also been published in German”but, of course, by a Swiss publisher!
