The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson -Paperback
The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson -Paperback – October 12, 2010
The Finkler Question is a funny, furious, unflinching novel of friendship and loss, exclusion and belonging, and the wisdom and humanity of maturity.
**"The Finkler Question"** by Howard Jacobson is a thought-provoking novel that delves into themes of identity, friendship, and loss. The story revolves around Julian Treslove, an underwhelming former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a celebrated Jewish philosopher and media personality. The two men, old friends, and their former teacher, Libor Sevcik, share an evening together reminiscing about their past.
The plot takes a dramatic turn when Treslove, an unmarried Gentile, is attacked and mugged after leaving the gathering. He becomes convinced that the attack was a case of mistaken anti-Semitism, which profoundly shifts his sense of identity. As Treslove grapples with this event, the novel explores the complexities of friendship, the quest for belonging, and the challenges of reconciling with one's own identity.
Winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize, "The Finkler Question" is noted for its sharp wit, emotional depth, and incisive examination of Jewish identity and cultural dynamics.
