Corbin College, not-quite-upstate New York, winter 1959-196: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian€”but not an historian of the Jews€”is 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 non-fiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive, genre-bending comedy of blending, identity, and politics€”€œAn 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.

About Author
Joshua Cohen was born in 198 in Atlantic City. His books include the novels Moving Kings, Book of Numbers, Witz, A Heaven of Others, and Cadenza for the Schneidermann Violin Concerto; the short fiction collection Four New Messages, and the non-fiction collection Attention: Dispatches from a Land of Distraction. Called 'a major American writer' by the New York Times, 'maybe America's greatest living writer' by the Washington Post, and 'an extraordinary prose stylist, surely one of the most prodigious at work in American fiction today' by the New Yorker, Cohen was awarded Israel's 213 Matanel Prize for Jewish Writers, and in 217 was named one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. In 222, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Netanyahus. He lives in New York City.
