I haven't read Bernard Malamud since 2015. That was a collection of shorter stuff, 'Rembrandt's Hat.'

I'm not sure about this. It seems drawn out. Which is maybe in keeping with the tropes of the novel. Tropings and trappings.

There's something Bellovian about this character and general conceit. The aphoristic tendencies seem lightweight. Perhaps because Dubin is a lightweight.Or is Malamud perhaps the lightweight?
