Winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in the fiction category and named by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal among the best books of 2021, The Netanyahus (published in Italy by Codice edizioni) is the latest novel by American author Joshua Cohen. Through a clever, ironic and biting style, Cohen creates a story somewhere between an irreverent comedy and a history lesson, that features Benzion Netanyahu, father of Benjamin, future prime minister of Israel, and questions the identity orthodoxy of some minorities. An intelligent novel with some elements of a fairy tale that talks about the complexity and contradictions of every identity, whether individual or collective.
