{"product_id":"9781555848385","title":"The Last Jew: A Novel","description":"Yoram Kaniuk has been hailed as “one of the most innovative, brilliant novelists in the Western World” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e), and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Jew\u003c\/i\u003e is his exhilarating masterwork. Like Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s \u003ci\u003eOne Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Jew\u003c\/i\u003e is a sweeping saga that captures the troubled history and culture of an entire people through the prism of one family. From the chilling opening scene of a soldier returning home in a fog of battle trauma, the novel moves backward through time and across continents until Kaniuk has succeeded in bringing to life the twentieth century’s most unsettling legacy: the anxieties of modern Europe, which begat the Holocaust, and in turn the birth of Israel and the swirling cauldron that is the Middle East. With the unforgettable character of Ebenezer Schneerson—the eponymous last Jew—at its center, Kaniuk weaves an ingenious tapestry of Jewish identity that is alternately tragic, absurd, enigmatic, and heartbreaking.","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133511024880,"sku":"9781555848385","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555848385_p0.jpg?v=1769899227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555848385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
