Picked a really dark bit of reading this month.
I've had a lifelong fascination with the Book of Job, various exegesis & have read a bit of ancillary material over the years. However, this book brings in a lot of personal accounts from #Holocaust survivors. This is new to me & pretty challenging.
It's also leans heavily on Kristeva's #PostStructuralist work on abjection.
Highly recommend.
