Joshua Cohen

PREMIO PULITZER 2022 En la navidad de 1959, Ruben Blum, un historiador judío, es elegido en la universidad de Corbin para valorar la aplicación de un exiliado israelí especializado en la inquisición española. Se trata de Benzion Netanyahu, padre del ex-presidente de Israel Benjamin Netanyahu. Joshua Cohen mezcla ficcion y realidad en esta novela de campus que pudo escribir gracias a su amistad con Harold Bloom. Los Netanyahus es una comedia salvaje sobre la integracion, la identidad y la politica. Descubre al lector la historia cotidiana de la creacion del estado de Israel, la emigracion judia en los Estados Unidos y las teorias sionistas sobre la expulsion de los judios en la peninsula iberica. Es una novela en la que todos nos podemos sentir identificados, precisamente preguntandonos que significa tener una identidad nacional, religiosa o de genero. Reseñas: "Definitivamente, Cohen es un genio."Leo Robson, Guardian."Los Netanyahus es una novela de campus generacional... una leccion de historia. Es una obra nacida de la frustracion, la rabia... La mejor novela, la mas relevante que quizas haya leido nunca"Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times"El estilo de Cohen_ ingenioso y al mismo tiempo elegantemente entendible... Este libro es un autentico triunfo."Andrew Gallix, The Irish Times.

Dazzling and engrossing". (Colm Toibin, Guardian). Book of Numbers is a novel about two men of the same age and with the same name: Joshua Cohen. The first Joshua is a writer whose keenly anticipated debut had the bad luck to be published on September 11, 2001. The other Joshua is the enigmatic billionaire Founder and CEO of the world's most profitable tech company. Autobiography, family memoir, phoned-in ghostwriting, international thriller, sex comedy - Book of Numbers brings to life the full range of modern experience in the course of its epic journey.

One of the boldest voices of his generation, Joshua Cohen returns with Moving Kings, a propulsive, incendiary novel that interweaves, in profoundly intimate terms, the housing crisis in Americas poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods with the worlds oldest conflict, in the Middle East. The year is 2015, and twenty-one-year-olds Yoav and Uri, veterans of the last Gaza War, have just completed their compulsory military service in the Israel Defense Forces. In keeping with national tradition, they take a year off for rest, recovery, and travel. They come to New York City and begin working for Yoavs distant cousin David King a proud American patriot, Republican, and Jew, and the recently divorced proprietor of Kings Moving Inc., a heavyweight in the Tri-State areas moving and storage industries. What starts off as a profitable if eerily familiar job an "Occupation" quickly turns violent when they encounter one homeowner seeking revenge. Driven by Cohens characteristic intelligence, boundless energy, psychological tension, and humor, Moving Kings is a powerful and provocative novel about faith, race, class, and what it means to have a home.

With Attention, Joshua Cohen returns with his first collection of nonfiction, the culmination of two decades of writing and thought about life in the digital age. In essays, memoir, criticism, diary entries, and lettersmany appearing here for the first timeCohen covers the full depth and breadth of modern life: politics, literature, art, music, travel, the media, and psychology, and subjects as diverse as Google, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, fictional animals, Gustav Mahler, Aretha Franklin, John Zorn, landscape photography, fake Caravaggios, Wikipedia, Gertrude Stein, Edward Snowden, Jonathan Franzen, Olympic womens fencing, Atlantic City casinos, the closing of the Ringling Bros. circus, and Azerbaijan. Cohen directs his sharp gaze at home and abroad, calling upon his extraordinary erudition and unrivaled ability to draw connections between seemingly unlike things to show us how to live without fear in a world overflowing with information. At this crucial juncture in history, Attention is a guide for the perplexeda handbook for anyone hoping to bring the wisdom of the past into the culture of the future.

When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive, genre-bending comedy of blending, identity, and politics that finds Joshua Cohen at the height of his powers.

Desde la risa llegamos a una vision luminosa de nuestra necesidad humana, de volver al manantial. Satiriza las redes sociales, la creacion literaria, la comida rapida y la prostitucion on line.
