“Out From Under” is an ambitious and worthy #sequel to “The Evil Inclination.” Part of Lev will always feel #Orthodox in the #Brooklyn style he grew up with, but through Rachel, Rabbi Louise and #novel’s broader cast of memorable characters, he becomes open to a more flexible, yet still committed, #religious path.
With rising #antisemitism, #Victor believes both #novels carry the message that “we need to have the courage to make #Judaism meaningful in all aspects of our lives. Deep engagement with #Jewish learning and observance is critical to survival.”
In fact, outside of #Orthodox #publishing, few contemporary #Jewishnovels probe the lives of #Jews searching for meaningful religious engagement, especially from an Orthodox perspective. This makes Victor’s compulsively readable #novels that much more relevant in today’s world."
