The Netanyahus
Mixing fiction with non-fiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive, genre-bending comedy of blending, identity, and politics – 'An Account of A Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family' that finds Joshua Cohen at the height of his powers.

De Netanyahu's
Een verhaal over een onbetekenende en uiteindelijk zelfs verwaarloosbare episode in de geschiedenis van een zeer beroemde familieCorbin College, de winter van 1959-1960. Ruben Blum – een Joods historicus maar niet van de geschiedenis van de Joden – wordt geronseld voor de sollicitatiecommissie. Hij moet de geloofsbrieven bekijken van een Joods geleerde in ballingschap met de Spaanse inquisitie als specialiteit. Wanneer Benzion Netanyahu voor zijn sollicitatiegesprek verschijnt, in gezelschap van zijn voltallige gezin, wordt Blum met tegenzin hun gastheer. In wat volgt worden zijn Amerikaanse aannames en verwachtingen op hilarische wijze op de proef gesteld. Dit boek mengt feit en fictie, een campusroman met ijzersterke betogen. De Netanyahu’s is een onwaarschijnlijk inventieve komedie over aanpassing, identiteit en politiek. ‘Pakkend, verrukkelijk hilarisch, adembenemend en een van de beste en relevantste boeken die ik in wat wel een eeuwigheid lijkt heb gelezen.’ – The New York Times ‘Een bijtende, taalkunstige en historisch onderlegde roman over de ambiguïteiten van de Joods-Amerikaanse beleving.’ – Pulitzer Prize Jury

Philosophy, Politics, Democracy
Selected EssaysOver the past 20 years, Cohen has explored campaign finance and political equality, privacy rights and robust public debate, hate speech and pornography, and the capacity of democracies to address important practical problems.

Witz
From Joshua Cohen—winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize—comes one of the great comic epics of our time, newly restored in this definitive edition. On Christmas Eve, 1999, all the Jews in the world die in a strange, millennial plague, with the exception of the firstborn males, who are soon adopted by a cabal of powerful people in the American government. By the following Passover, however, only one is still alive: Benjamin Israelien; a kindly, innocent, ignorant man-child. As he rapidly ascends to international fame, Jewishness becomes all the rage: matzo-ball soup is in every bowl, sidelocks are hip; while Israelien, the only truly Jewish Jew left, is increasingly stigmatized for refusing to perform his religion. Since his very existence exposes the illegitimacy of the newly converted, Israelien becomes a wanted man just as quickly as he had become a famous one. Elsewhere, in the not-too-distant future of our own, “real” world, another last Jew—the last living Holocaust survivor—sits snowbound in his Manhattan apartment, telling jokes that he only half-remembers. A final, melancholy witness, attempting to find the punch line for a century.

Quattro nuovi messaggi
Dall'autore del Libro dei numeri, quattro racconti che catturano l'assurdità delle nostre vite nell'era di internet, ansiogene, brandizzate e digitalizzate. Mono, sfortunato spacciatore di coca nel campus di Princeton, viene ridicolizzato in un blog diventato virale. Un copywriter frustrato vede esaurirsi la propria vena creativa a causa di una certa parola, ubiqua e fagocitante, che proprio non riesce a scrivere. Un ex scrittore newyorkese riciclatosi professore universitario accetta un incarico nella provincia americana, coinvolgendo i suoi studenti in un assurdo progetto di rivalsa sulla città che l'ha esiliato. Un aspirante giornalista si lancia sulle tracce di una ragazza vista in un filmato porno, in un viaggio che lo porterà in un distorto Paese delle meraviglie in cui ciò che è finito online una sola volta, vive per sempre. Quattro racconti che mostrano cosa succede quando il virtuale colonizza il reale, cercando, come il mastodontico Libro dei numeri, di salvare la scrittura, l'arte, il sesso e sì, anche l'alienazione, dalla dilagante ossessione per i brand e la tecnologia.
