Check out an abridged version of Alexander Stille’s Afterword to Pitigrilli’s Cocaine on the New York Review of Books blog. And find out who Pitigrilli called “a man above all adjectives.”
“The Drive represents a new landmark in Israeli fiction … Israel’s own The Catcher in the Rye, its narrator—like Holden Caulfield—a too-sensitive young man on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Like Holden, he has a nose for phoniness and can see through the false bravado and cruelty of Israel’s military infrastructure. And, like Salinger’s novel, The Drive reveals the fault lines in a national narrative … Assulin delivers powerfully.”
