AWW23: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family - Joshua Cohen
23 Mar 2023
Chair: Michaela Kalowski In 2022, Joshua Cohen was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family. His very funny depiction of Benzion Netanyahu – a third rate academic attempting to secure a job in a third rate American university – is part black comedy, part history lesson and part reflection on Jewish-American identity. Cohen talks about what it means to write a ’true story’ and the relationship between fantasy, history and fiction. Event details: Sun 05 Mar, 12:00pm on the East Stage
