"Any book which inspires us to lead a better life is a good book."
—Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

I've paused After the Pogrom because it is a frustrating read. Not the content, but the physical book. I knew what the content would be, a laundry list of the moral failures of the West after the 7 October 2023 pogrom; it's tough, but that's what I signed up for. But the physical book has very light text; it's small, but the issue is that it is light, has insufficient contrast with the paper on which it is printed for the low-light conditions in which I do most of my reading. I have yet to devise a solution.
