Malamud does something used-to-this-fast -paced-world me normally wouldn‘t be able to process: he gives a lot of backstory - but Boy! does he do that well! Loved his writing. Lady of the lake was my favourite - the story explores Jewish identity and concealing it to be accepted in society, in a romantic relationship or to climb the social ladder. The ending packs a punch.
