Joshua Cohen | The Netanyahus with Rivka Galchen | Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch
Joshua Cohen’s acclaimed novels include Moving Kings, Witz, and Book of Numbers, “a fascinating look at the dark heart of the Web” and “one of the best novels ever written about the Internet” (Rolling Stone). One of Granta’s Best of Young American Novelists in 2017, Cohen is the author of the short story collection Four New Messages and the book of essays Attention: Dispatches from a Land of Distraction. Cohen has contributed nonfiction to The New York Times, Harper's, and n+1. Blurring the line between the real and the imagined, The Netanyahus follows a Jewish historian who unexpectedly must play host to an exiled Israeli historian and his family on a wintry 1959 upstate New York college campus.
