סוס אחד נכנס לבר by David Grossman, דויד גרוסמן
5.0

Dazzling.

This uncanny clairvoyance about the Man Booker results should really be getting me some moolah. [a:David Grossman|34031|David Grossman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1258357322p2/34031.jpg], much like [a:Paul Beatty|44076|Paul Beatty|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1410926394p2/44076.jpg], takes risks with his prose and the result is the story of a damaged stand-up comic, who decides to revisit his past and get some closure, while trying to appease a less-than-cooperative audience. The prose is sharp, the jokes uncomfortably funny and the ending leaves you rooting for Dovaleh's deliverance.

Someone MUST get a copy of this to Noah Baumbach. Joaquin Phoenix can play Dovaleh; Jeffrey Tambor, Lazar.
