Summary

This week we’re discussing whether Joshua Cohen’s approach to exploring Jewish culture works in the ways that he seems to hope it will, whether the book is too sad to be truly funny, whether the story has finally revealed what it is, and much more.

Don’t forget to weigh in on this episode’s question. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Question of the Week: Is the big Judy scene funny?
