Book Review - Reuben Sacx by Amy Levy

In january 18 89, levy's novel, reuben sacx was published. This book quickly became a problem in its reception. Jewish critics really felt that levy's work of prose was a harsh criticism of jewish life and that it was riddled with stereotypes. Gentile readers seem to feel that it validated every negative stereotype about jews and saw it as a sort of expose from within the community. And others seem to just wonder why amy levy was so unkind to the jewish community.
