A classic that won Malamud both the Pulitzer Prize and the National
Book Award
"The Fixer" (1966) is Bernard Malamud's best-known and most
acclaimed novel -- one that makes manifest his roots in Russian
fiction, especially that of Isaac Babel.
Set in Kiev in 1911 during a period of heightened anti-Semitism,
the novel tells the story of Yakov Bok, a Jewish handyman blamed
for the brutal murder of a young Russian boy. Bok leaves his
village to try his luck in Kiev, and after denying his Jewish
identity, finds himself working for a member of the anti-Semitic
Black Hundreds Society. When the boy is found nearly drained of
blood in a cave, the Black Hundreds accuse the Jews of ritual
murder. Arrested and imprisoned, Bok refuses to confess to a crime
that he did not commit.
