Is this 'tender love story' his best yet?
Howard Jacobson’s love story about romance in later life, although not ostensibly about Jewish characters, brings a welcome relief from the angst felt in the Jewish world post October 7th. Regarded as one of Britain’s very greatest writers, Jacobson was forty before he wrote anything significant and, now in
his eighties, hasn’t stopped since! This latest jewel from his literary treasure chest arrives to critical acclaim. In great demand to talk about his book at literary festivals, in podcasts, on television and radio, he has still spared time and energy to speak out powerfully about the prevailing worldwide antisemitism.
“What defies comprehension is the darkness of the human heart that rejoices in destroying or defacing posters of children whose only crime is to have gone missing,” he has said. “Antisemitism is the passion dead Jews arouse in their killers to kill more.” Abraham Events are proud and honoured to welcome the piercingly eloquent Howard Jacobson to talk about his latest work and whatever else occurs to
his trenchant mind.
