Hope: A Tragedy

The humor, at times, can leave you gasping. Comic brilliance. Solomon Kugel has had enough of the past and its burdens. So, in the hope of starting afresh, he moved his family to a small rural town where nothing of import has ever happened. Sadly, Kugel's life isn't that simple. His family soon finds themselves threatened by a local arsonist, and his ailing mother won't stop reminiscing about the Nazi concentration camps she didn't actually suffer through. And when, one night, Kugel discovers a living, breathing, thought-to-be-dead specimen of history hiding in his attic, bad very quickly becomes worse. Singularly inventive and superbly shocking, nothing short of genius. He will make you laugh until your heart breaks.
