rworrall78 's review for:

The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson

2.5

---

A slog. It got a lot better once Hephzibah arrived and once the complexities of Jewishness, religion, politics and violence came into focus. But the attitudes of the men towards the women were often dripping with misogyny even if it was sometimes supposedly well meaning and sometimes born of grief. Those moments seem to pass without comment or any realisation that they're not ok. They are not ok. 
I didn't find it particularly funny.
