The Writer (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=af81204b12&e=9da8a37a61)

The Berkowitz Bros, Josh Gad, and Ariel Olivetti

A witty, visually stunning graphic novel about Stan Siegel, a Jewish professor turned reluctant superhero, who battles demons, Nazis, and his own family drama. Blending folklore, comics, and satire, it’s a beautifully-observed take on Jewish identity, storytelling, and the power - and limits - of fantasy.
Parallel Lives (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=f6000e3afd&e=9da8a37a61)

Iain Pears

Acclaimed writer and art-historian Iain Pears tells the remarkable love story of his mentor, Francis Haskell - an English art historian of Iraqi Jewish descent and Oxford don - and Larissa Salmina, a Soviet art historian.
Chopping Onions on my Heart (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=8941f02062&e=9da8a37a61)

Samantha Ellis

Samantha Ellis’s warm, moving memoir explores her Iraqi-Jewish roots through food, language and family memory, capturing what’s been lost and what still endures. A linguistic treat (with recipes included!)
Autocorrect (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=81589ab5ce&e=9da8a37a61)

Etgar Keret

In Keret’s stories, all things are possible. Autocorrect is a wild, inventive collection of short stories – from an alien offering a guided tour of the destroyed earth, to an angry squirrel who wrecks a wedding – from one of today’s most original storytellers.

The Director (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=c89a9e1a50&e=9da8a37a61)

Daniel Kehlmann

A brilliant and dark novel of art, power and how fear and corruption become normal. Austrian film director GW Pabst fled the Nazis for Hollywood; forced to return to Germany, he created propaganda films for them. “…a dazzling performance and a real page turner” (Salman Rushdie).
The Earth to the Skies (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=593838ea0b&e=9da8a37a61)

Raffaello Morales

Can one man’s fate change music forever? Raffaello Morales’s novel The Earth to the Skies follows Mahler’s son, Moses, entrusted to Freud to save music - only to face the horrors of war and antisemitism.
The Rest of our Lives (https://jewishliteraryfoundation.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=afc6346993e8da54250d4cd30&id=3c499ccf98&e=9da8a37a61)

Ben Markovits

A beautifully understated novel about family, marriage, middle age, and the quiet reckoning that comes when the children leave home.
