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. As the only prison in the
federal system with a kosher deli, Otisville is the penitentiary of
choice for white-collar Jewish offenders, many of whom secretly
like the place. They've learned to game the system, so when the
regime is toughened to punish a newly arrived celebrity convict who
has upset the 45th president, they find devious ways to fight back.
Shadowy forces up the ante by trying to 'Epstein' - ie assassinate
- the newcomer, and visiting poetry professor Deborah Liston ends
up in dire peril when she sees too much. She has helped the minyan
look into their souls. Will they now step up to save her? 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.
