The Prison Minyan by Jonathan Stone
Welcome to America’s only Jewish prison...
rugelach, blintzes, and a quest for vengeance from the highest tier of the US government
The scene is Otisville Prison, upstate New York. A crew of fraudsters, tax evaders, trigamists, and forgers discuss matters of right and wrong in a Talmudic study and prayer group, or "minyan," led by a rabbi who’s a fellow convict.
Jonathan Stone brings the sensibility of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth to the post-truth era in a sharply comic novel that is also wise, profound, and deeply moral.
