About This Item
Synopsis
The new novel by the internationally acclaimed author- "a farce of nuclear proportions"( Vanity Fair ) Arnon Grunberg is one of the most subtly outrageous provocateurs in world literature. The Jewish Messiah , which chronicles the evolution of one Xavier Radek from malcontent grandson of a former SS officer, to Jewish convert, to co- translator of Hitler's Mein Kampf into Yiddish, to Israeli politician and Israel's most unlikely prime minister, is his most outrageous work yet. Taking on the most well-guarded pieties and taboos of our age, The Jewish Messiah is both a great love story and a grotesque farce that forces a profound reckoning with the limits of human guilt, cruelty, and suffering. It is without question Arnon Grunberg's masterpiece.
