BONUS: Ironies abound for Pulitzer prize-winning author of 'The Netanyahus'
The Times of Israel Daily Briefing - A podcast by The Times of Israel

Welcome to a bonus episode of Times Will Tell, The Times of Israel's weekly feature podcast. We're speaking with Joshua Cohen, the prize-winning author of "The Netanyahus, An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family," who is in Israel for the Writers Festival and a residency at Jerusalem's Mishkenot Sha'ananim. We speak about his fictionalization of the very famous political Israeli family and how he chose the Netanyahus as his focus for the novel, as well as the twists of fact and fiction. Cohen talks about winning the Pulitzer for a book about identity, tokenism and, the Jews.
