"Shmutz" by Felicia Berliner

book review by Riley Burnham 8/16/2022

hahaha, great one

a coming-of-age story about a Hasidic jewess; searching for love & herself; getting lost in the pitfalls & travails of porn-addiction

learning about love; learning English; learning how to blend in w/ society & make friends -- we get an intimate view into this girl/character's family, religion, wants, dreams, desires, apprehensions...

ultimately it's very good -- real & memorable; an eloquent story

also excellent Yiddish spoken here
