The place is named for Jeffrey Epstein, not that Jeffrey Epstein, this is the good Jeffrey Epstein, a benefactor who wants his name on the building, though the bad one’s not entirely irrelevant to this story. Tova Reich’s newest novel, on the heels of her award-winning \u003ci\u003eMother India\u003c\/i\u003e is a raucous and biting tale of a reeducation camp for alleged sex offenders. Reich’s verbal blade is sharp and she slashes with it, but not without the sensitivity that such incisiveness requires. Camp Jeff is a work in Reich’s signature satirical mode, an unhindered indictment of both #MeToo and therapeutic culture, and at the same time is also a deeply considered work of psychological portraiture and an examination of love, faith, and affection in American culture.\"Reich slyly takes on misogyny, hypocrisy, trendy therapies, genuine trauma, and antisemitism, the 'oldest hatred in the world.' An audacious and righteous torrent of wisecracks and ironies that coheres into a whirlwind of 'divine apocalyptic madness.'\" --\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Brimming with the blackest humor, \u003ci\u003eCamp Jeff\u003c\/i\u003e is a satirical novel about the difficulties of seeking justice when the guilty are incapable of remorse. . . .
