1. The Netanyahus
This novel is a darkly comedic exploration of academia, politics, and Jewish identity, set in the 1950s. It centers on a historian at a small liberal arts college in upstate New York who is tasked with vetting the application of an eccentric and controversial scholar, who is none other than the father of the future Israeli Prime Minister. As the historian navigates the absurdities of academic life and the complexities of Zionist ideology, the story delves into themes of displacement, belonging, and the intricacies of Jewish history. Through its blend of fictional and historical elements, the narrative offers a satirical look at the intersections of personal and political legacies.
