The Finkler Question Jacobson, Howard

Howard Jacobson's Man Booker Prize winner is a brilliantly funny, achingly poignant exploration of identity, friendship, and what it means to be Jewish—or to wish you were. When Julian Treslove is mugged by a woman he believes called him a Jew, his world tilts. Together with his old school friends—the recently widowed Jewish writer Finkler and their former teacher—he embarks on a late-life reckoning with belonging, loss, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Perfect for readers who love Philip Roth's wit, sharp observations about modern life, and novels that make you laugh and wince in equal measure.
