Dead Jews and the People Who Love Them

"This book explores the many strange and sickening ways in which the world's affection for dead Jews shapes the present moment. I hope you will find it as disturbing as I do." This is not the way most books introduce themselves to their readers. And it's not how Dara Horn wanted to start People Love Dead Jews. She wanted to say, "I hope you will hate it as much as I do." Her editors made her change the line.
