Before completing Something Is Rotten in Fettig, Jere Krakoff was a civil rights attorney with the ACLU National Prison Project in Washington, D.C. The novel was inspired, in part, by people, places and events he observed while litigating as well as his childhood in a colorful Jewish enclave in the United States. Much of the book was written while traveling to distant places for depositions, waiting for jury verdicts, and drafting legal briefs. Understandably, the satire took more than twenty years to finish. Mr. Krakoff, now retired from the practice of law, is writing a satire about the US Supreme Court, a tribunal dubbed for fictional purposes as the High Court of Final Supplications. He expects to complete this novel within a shorter period of time.
