About this audiobook
A story from the collection For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, in which Englander envisions a group of Polish Jews herded toward a train bound for the death camps and, in a deft, imaginative twist, turns them into acrobats tumbling out of harm's way. For the Relief of Unbearable Urges is a work of startling authority and imagination-an audiobook that is as wondrous and joyful as it is wrenchingly sad.
