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!”
