Re: [NGFP-BookClub] The TrialAh...David: you ask the one question that =
is the most difficult to answer~
I suppose the obvious answer would be so that I can identify with his =
experiences as perceives them, and ultimately understand them.=20
It would be comforting, if after all, underneath all of the struggle, =
complexity, and bewilderment of this character K, he, like us, can say =
the Shema, keep the Sabbath holy, and be committed to the continued =
existence of Israel.=20
Your question has made me think. I thank you for it.

I WANT to believe that K is a Jew, Phillip, which of course is me =
projecting my own spin on this story, but on this initial reading, I did =
not see K as such. This book will definitely be read again by me.
All best,

Dear Barbara,
Why do you want to believe that K. is a Jew?
