Joshua Cohen
The father of political Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was a journalist, playwright, and novelist, as well as a figure of immense fame and influence in his own brief lifetime. But he was also the father of three flesh-and-blood children: Pauline, who died from her drug addictions; Hans, who converted to Christianity and committed suicide on the eve of his older sister's funeral; and Trude, the youngest, who perished in a Nazi camp. Only one of these Herzls had a child: Trude's son Stephen, a British Army captain who leapt to his death from a bridge in Atomic Age Washington DC, thus ending the Herzl line—the family coming apart catastrophically even as Herzl's ideas took root in the world and flourished.
Dead Herzls tells this previously nearly unknown saga as a continent-and-century-spanning fiction written with millennial compression, compassion, grace, and somehow even wit. From the salons of imperial Vienna to the debauched cabarets of interwar Paris, from Blitzed-out London to the final days of the British Mandate in Jerusalem, the orphaned Herzl children careen through history, ideology, borders, and languages, their broken lives a shattered mirror full of unexpected reflections for our own time. A classical tragedy and a poignant psychological study of how the familial becomes the political, it is Joshua Cohen’s most important novel to date, and a brilliantly dark prehistory of our violent present.

批評家のレビュー
“The house of Atreus fell, and Greece with it. The house of Herzl fell, and left behind a reborn nation. Dead Herzls is Joshua Cohen’s King Lear, and in scope, clamor, and grief stands worthy of it.” —Cynthia Ozick, New York Times bestselling author of The Shawl
“An extraordinary stylist, Joshua Cohen is also a profound observer of the human condition. Dead Herzls exhilarates, surprises, and ultimately breaks your heart—a remarkable tour de force.” —Claire Messud, New York Times bestselling author of The Emperor's Children
“This novel tells a great, tragic story using immersive grace and brilliant sentences. Joshua Cohen's sense of place and period is superb, as is his skill with character and motive. The writing sets the book apart with its astonishing cadences, its wit, its pacing, its richness, its verve, its tone. Dead Herzls further establishes Joshua Cohen as one of the most exciting and original novelists working now.” —Colm Tóibín, New York Times bestselling author of The Magician
“What to make of a man whose descendants, every last one of them, turned out mad or broken in spirit, each in a different way? And what to make of his ideas? Dead Herzls is a hall of mirrors set amid the horrors of the twentieth century and, at the same time, a great, tragic family novel by one of the finest and most exciting writers working today.” —Daniel Kehlmann, New York Times bestselling author of The Director
“A deeply rich, captivating work of historical fiction written in luminous, ecstatic prose. Through the tragic lives of Theodor Herzl’s heirs, Cohen paints an inverse portrait of the famous patriarch and maybe even the movement itself, where delusions of grandeur contrast with abject misery and self-abandonment. Full of explosive ideas whose artful suggestion only deepen their impact and forge a proximity to the tragedy of our day. A devastating tale whose light shines through the telling.” —Lexi Freiman, author of The Book of Ayn
