The Fixer is a 1966 novel by
Bernard Malamud which is based on the true story of
Menahem Mendel Beilis, an unjustly imprisoned
Jew in
Tsarist Russia. The notorious "
Beilis trial" of 1913 caused an international uproar that forced Russia to back down in the face of world indignation. The trial is fictionalized using a very similar story line. The book won the
Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1967.
The book was later adapted into a film.
