BOOK OF THE WEEK: Lublin, by Manya Wilkinson

Winner of @thewingateprize.bsky.social‬

Surreal, incredibly Jewish and heartbreakingly funny. Manya captures the absurdity and tragedy of Jewish history in Eastern Europe in the ‘30s and ‘40s with extraordinary tenderness.

Lublin by Manya Wilkinson (pub. @andotherstories.bsky.social ) is such a worthy winner. It’s a beautiful, funny, poignant short novel told with exquisite control; a prewar Yiddish fable refracted through a postwar lens. A book that we judges all wanted to press on people and say: “Read this!”
