Reviews

What do computerized data storage, sibling rivalry, the Book of Ruth, and Egyptian uncertainty after the Arab Spring have in common? They're all part of this latest work about two crucial aspects of being human: the ability to remember and to love. Horn has already proven herself by being named one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists and winning two National Jewish Book Awards. A sure bet.


A richly layered novel... showcase(s) a novelist at the height of her powers. --Andrew Ferman


It's not every day you come across a genuinely page-turning kidnapping story that is also replete with historical, psychological, and interpretive insights into Maimonides, envy, and motherhood, not to mention replicating the narrative structure and central themes of the biblical story of Joseph. A Guide for the Perplexed is Dara Horn's most ambitious, audacious, edifying, and entertaining novel yet. --Elif Batuman, author of The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them
