Description
Oliver Walzer is a natural at ping-pong. He can chop, flick and half-volley with ease, even using an improvised bat. His skills improve when he receives tuition from Sheeny Waxman, a fellow member of the Akiva Social Club Table Tennis Team and regular at the Kardomah coffee bar. As Oliver navigates his life, his table tennis game becomes just one aspect of his story. This novel explores themes of identity, community and personal growth, set against the backdrop of a vibrant social scene. Written by Howard Jacobson, this book won the 2010 Man Booker Prize.
