The Orientalist
April 21, 2006
The Orientalist is out in paperback now. It looks intriguing, a literary and historical detective story. A Time review says that it “reads like a secret history of the 20th century”. It’s the true story of a Jew, Lev Nussimbaum, who assumed the persona of a Muslim prince in Nazi Germany. I think I’m going to have to read it.
