Pingback: Afternoon Bites: Howard Jacobson, Amelia Gray, Literary Hype, and More | Vol. 1 Brooklyn
“The Finkler Question” is a scorching story of exclusion and belonging, justice and love, ageing, wisdom and humanity, penned beautifully by Howard Jacobson. Funny, furious, unflinching, this extraordinary novel shows one of our finest writers at his brilliant best.
Rare is a work of fiction that takes on the most controversial issues so directly—and with enough humor, intelligence, and insight—that it changes a reader’s mind. Be warned: The Finkler Question will probably charm you on its way to keep you glued to itself. Simply un-put downable.
