The Assistant by Bernard Malamud

5.0

Absolutely gorgeous. From the characters, to the writing, to the tragic nature of Morris Bober...I loved every page of it. I found it to be both sad and beautiful and the story moved me. The characters were nothing short of delicious, and the plot kept me hooked for the entirety of the novel. Officially one of my all-time favorites.
