In the heart of Argentina's Dirty War, Kaddish Poznan struggles with a son who won't accept him; strives for a wife who forever saves him; and spends his nights protecting the good name of a community that denies his existence-and denies a checkered history that only Kaddish holds dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathan Englander's first novel is a timeless story of fathers and sons. In a world turned upside down, where the past and the future, the nature of truth itself, all take shape according to a corrupt government's whims, one man-one spectacularly hopeless man-fights to overcome his history and his name, and, if for only once in his life, to put things right. \u003ci\u003eThe Ministry of Special Cases\u003c\/i\u003e, like Englander's stories before it, is a celebration of our humanity, in all its weakness, and-despite that-hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169710457072,"sku":"2940169349016","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169349016_p0.jpg?v=1763680588","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169349016","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
