De Netanyahu's

Corbin 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
