Told in a wry, understated voice, the novel satirizes the travails of Leopold Plotkin, a failing kosher butcher with a pathological aversion to conflict. After Plotkin commits an act that ignites a crisis in his Republic, he is propelled into conflicts with every branch of government. When he refuses the government’s demands to undo what he did, he is indicted by a Secret Blind Jury, arrested by the National Constabulary, and consigned to the notorious Purgatory House of Detention, where he languishes next to a defrocked insane lawyer whose nocturnal machinations threaten to drive him crazy. After months of languishing in prison, Plotkin is prosecuted by the Republic’s ethically-challenged Prosecutor General, tried before a congenitally pro-prosecution judge, and defended by a reclusive lawyer who has never been in a courtroom. The butcher’s only witness in the highly anticipated trial is an unhinged resident of the Warehouse for the Purportedly Insane. Everybody, including Plotkin and his small circle of supporters, expects a conviction and imposition of the longest sentence allowed by law, if not longer.

Legs Feldman

By: Jere Krakoff

In this eccentric social satire, set in the early twentieth century in a fictious Republic, Zelman Feldman is born with immense legs. To share this extraordinary discovery with the Republic's scientific community, his pediatrician convenes a symposium soon after Zelman's delivery. Zoologists and other scientific luminaries are mesmerized by the size of the limbs. Front page articles about the "Feldman Phenomenon" appear in newspapers of every political stripe. Thus begins Zelman's comical journey as a person whom society views as an oddity. Among the colorful characters he encounters over the years are unscrupulous distant relatives, a shady freak show barker, a sensuous former prima ballerina, and a womanizing business mogul. The odyssey climaxes in a bizarre trial that will decide his future. What will the verdict be? More important, can he find happiness despite his physical anomaly? This witty novel about society's prejudices and other flaws answers these questions and offers insights into the imperfect human condition.
