Discussion, Reading, Q&A
A Swedish suburb in the 1980s: So far, David has kept his Jewish identity a secret, but now everyone knows. Trying to impress left-wing activist Maja while also avoiding discrimination at school as well as increasingly violent threats from a group of neo-Nazis, Davids’s situation turns into more and more of a dilemma. A thought-provoking novel that balances satire with a serious examination of antisemitism and racism.
Content Note: This story addresses antisemitism, racism, homophobia, misogyny, body shaming, ableism, and a suicide attempt.
