29-The Penitent  — 2 months ago

by Isaac Bashevis Singer

After reading Eternal Treblinka I wanted to read some of Bashevis Singer’s books, to read around the animal related quotes. I took a few of his books from the library and started with this one. Unfortunately, the book is filled with religious, chauvinist and homophobic statements.
It had a few parts about animals and vegetarianism, but they are thrown away when the question of using tefillin arrives (made out of leather).
