Paul Goldberg draws on his background as a Russian-American journalist to write novels that blend dark humor with serious explorations of Jewish identity and Soviet history. The Yid (2016) is set during Stalin’s anti-Jewish purges and follows a group of aging actors plotting to assassinate the dictator. The Chateau (2018) moves to a Florida condo, where a retired Soviet journalist investigates corruption.

The Dissident (2023) returns to Soviet-era themes. Across all three novels, Goldberg writes with the eye of a journalist and the sensibility of someone who has lived between two very different cultures.
