The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family by Joshua Cohen
5.0
Absolute masterpiece. Written like a good TV show is dialogued, this book’s action are ludicrous and illustrated perfectly on the page.
The whole Corbin community, the depiction of Jewry from the Iberian inquisition up until the 1960s, the quips and wit and analysis…reading this book as a reader would’ve had me enthralled already at the writing style, but reading this book as a reader and a Jew taught me so much. It shined light on Jewish life in such an easy to read,profound, and particularly modern way- prompting me to consider history, culture, religion, society.
So epic! I expected a lot from a pulitzer winner and it did not disappoint one bit.
