CLOSE-UP: JOSHUA COHEN

Joshua Cohen is one of today's most acclaimed American authors, having published ten books spanning various genres. Jewish history is foundational in all of his works, from the surrealistic Witz (2010) to his breakthrough novel, Book of Numbers (2015), which delves into both the birth of the internet and the reason why the Book of Numbers has this name in English. Cohen is currently promoting the Norwegian edition of his critically acclaimed and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Netanyahus. This is a brilliant novel about Jewish identity, American university life, and political utopias and tragedies. With drastic humor and language that flies across the pages, Joshua Cohen offers a whole new perspective on 20th century history. Meet him in conversation with Nikolai Melamed Kleivan.
