Book Description

Publication Date: September 27, 2005

A comic account of a man’s search for meaning, identity and a suitable response to the burden of history; Coren’s examination of the nature of Jewishness (and, incidentally, of Englishness), of the lies we tell to survive and the stresses of urban life, is irreverent, funny, provocative and brave.
