Description
The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family by Joshua Cohen. In the winter of 1959-1960, a Jewish historian is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar. When Benzion Netanyahu and his family arrive for an interview, the historian is forced to confront his American complacencies. This unexpected visit sets off a chain of events that blends fiction and nonfiction in a wildly inventive comedy of identity, politics, and belonging. Joshua Cohen's novel is a genre-bending exploration of the complexities of family, history, and identity. With its unique blend of campus novel and lecture, The Netanyahus is a thought-provoking and engaging read that showcases Cohen's mastery of language and storytelling.
