When Jack dies our protagonist is asked to write his biography.
He is an old and long time friend going back to school days. Then they were chalk and cheese. Jack goes on to become famous as a chat show host, while David the academic wastes his life in a dead end job.
Funny and absorbing in a Jewish angst sort of way. I’ll read more of this author for sure.
Score 7/10
