P.S. Nathan Englander’s new novel, The Ministry of Special Cases, came out last week, and hey, there’s nothing wrong with taking ten years to write your first novel. I loved his portrayal of orthodox Jews in For the Relief of Unbearable Urges and The Ministry is supposed to have the same mixture of melancholy and wit.
P.P.S. Phawker has a great interview with Englander.
P.P.P.S. The Philadelphia Inquirer has a review of The Ministry of Special Cases by Sarah Weinman of Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind.
One thought on “Nathan Englander Competes Against Himself for “Best Author Hair” Award”
the elder Englander wins.
Hands down.
