The Jewish Messiah - A Novel (Paperback)


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.
