Elsewhere by Doron Rabinovici
On one level Elsewhere is a satire that takes aim at a number of sacred cows: identity, nationalism, Holocaust commemoration and the moral obligation to remember, collective guilt and amnesia, victimhood, Israel and Zionism, and anti-Semitism. But it's also a heart-wrenching family drama and a very funny novel. Ethan Rosen is a brilliant, opinionated academic, as is his rival, Rudi Klausinger. Klausinger catches Ethan Rosen out in one of his many self-contradictory pronouncements and an ugly public spat ensues, soon complicated by a web of family revelations. 'Truth' in Doron Rabinovici's novel, everyday experience - especially politics - is relative and inscrutable. It changes depending on who speaks it and where and when it's spoken.
Doron Rabinovici was born in Tel Aviv and lives in Vienna. He is an historian as well as a novelist and has won numerous prizes, including the prestigious 3sat Prize (1994) for his first collection of short stories.
