Description

They Wont Let You Live is the story of two small shop-owners - one Christian, one Jewish - in 1930s London. Simon Blumenfelds 4th and final novel, first published in 1939, critically revisits the themes evoked by Shakespeares The Merchant Of Venice. Blumenfeld sets out to confound the readers prejudices and expectations in a plot that does not shy away from the difficult and the disturbing. In an ever-growing atmosphere of violence in both public and private life, Blumenfeld explores how language that springs from our emotions and misapprehensions shapes our world and, indeed, how it appears to us.
