This book is a window into Israeli post holocaust society, and without understanding that you cannot fully comprehend the story. It's told in a smart, witty manner, with some unfunny jokes in between, and if you're looking for an essay lighthearted read you're in the wrong place. I felt immersed into the story, as if I was there during Dovalehs show. Grossman's writing is amazing, truly bringing the characters and the story to life. It's reflective, makes you think, and leaves just enough open ends to keep you wondering on some things. I recommend reading this in a book club so that you can discuss it with someone. Also, if you enjoyed this novel I suggest the show "Bojack Horseman", I felt they were quite similar in many ways - and vice versa.
