The Netanyahus : an account of a minor and ultimately even negligible episode in the history of a very famous family
Edité par New York Review books - paru en 2021
Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959-1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian but not an historian of the Jewsis co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive, genre-bending comedy of blending, identity, and politics that finds Joshua Cohen at the height of his powers.

Un roman remarquable
L'auteur raconte la visite du père de Benjamin Netanyahu - un historien - qui candidate à un poste de professeur dans une petite université américaine. C'est hilarant, écrit dans un style remarquable de sobriété, mais qui fait mouche à tous les coups. Je recommande vivement!!!
