On the centenary of Malamud's birth, Atlantic Books is proud to republish what is considered to be the haunting masterpiece of one of the giants of post-war American fiction.

Kiev, 1911. When a twelve-year-old Russian boy is found stabbed to death, his body drained of blood, the accusation of ritual murder is levelled at the Jews. Yakov Bok - a handyman hiding his Jewish identity from his anti-Semitic employer - is first outed and blamed. Arrested and imprisoned, Bok refuses to confess to a crime that he did not commit. What becomes of this man under pressure, for whom acquittal is made to seem as hopeless as conviction, is the subject of a terrifying masterpiece of twentieth-century fiction.

Industry Reviews

His masterpiece * Philip Roth *
The Fixer deserves to rank alongside the great Jewish-American novels of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth * Independent *

A novel of great power, even grandeur

* Life *

What makes it a great book, above and beyond its glowing goodness, has to do with something else altogether: its necessity

* Jonathan Safran Foer *
He writes with wisdom, compassion and humour... in the best tradition of Chekhov, Joyce and Hemingway * New York Times *
An absorbing, compelling and deeply human tale of freedom, hate and morality, its deceptively simple style and beautifully wrought sentences hold you captive from its opening... If the term wasn't cheapened by constant use, I'd call it a masterpiece... A novel that could change your life * Guardian *
