People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present

I finished reading People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present by Dara Horn. It's a collection of essays about antisemitism, so not exactly a super cheery read, but it is insightful, sometimes hopeful, and the chapter on "Holocaust fiction" is angry and brilliant.
