kaddish.com: A novel

The celebrated Pulitzer finalist and prize-winning author of Dinner at the Center of the Earth and What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank delivers his best work yet, a streamlined comic masterpiece about a sonâ€™s failure to say Kaddish for his father.
Larry is the secular son in a family of Orthodox Brooklyn Jews.Â When his father dies, itâ€™s his responsibility to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, every day for eleven months.Â To the horror and dismay of his sister, Larry refusesâ€”imperiling the fate of his fatherâ€™s soul.Â To appease her, Larry hatches an ingenious if cynical plan, hiring a stranger through a website called kaddish.com to recite the prayer and shepherd his fatherâ€™s soul safely to rest.
Sharp, irreverent, hilarious, and wholly irresistible, Englanderâ€™s tale of a son who makes a diabolical compromise ingeniously captures the tensions between tradition and modernityâ€”a book to be devoured in a single sitting whose pleasures and provocations will be savored long after.
