The Messiah is coming! His arrival is imminent! That’s the bad news... The  good news is his arrival and social schedule are narrated with a combination of  enthralled immediacy and distrustful distance by a Nobel Laureate, Isaac  Bashevis Singer. And yet, is it ‘all that’? Some readers will be super-pumped,  others might not catch messiah fever. All the colours of the rainbow.
