When a twelve-year-old Russian boy is found stabbed to death, his body drained of blood, the accusation of ritual murder is levelled at the Jews. Yakov Bok - a handyman hiding his Jewish identity from his anti-Semitic employer - is first outed and blamed. Arrested and imprisoned, Bok refuses  to confess to a crime that he did not commit. What becomes of this man under pressure, for whom acquittal is made to seem as hopeless as conviction, is the subject of a terrifying masterpiece of twentieth-century fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclaim for Malamud:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Malamud is a rich original of the first rank'' \u003cb\u003eSaul Bellow\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Malamud has never produced a mediocre novel...
