Howl

A howling comic masterpiece -- Patrick Marber Bold and brilliant, Howl is Howard Jacobson at his finest. A challenging novel that demands to be read and talked about -- Anthony Seldon Howard Jacobson’s Howl is fearless, furious and unbearably tender - a darkly comic reckoning with history, identity and what it means to stay sane when the world is coming apart. It's a rare novel that feels absolutely of this moment and is also destined to stand the test of time. -- Noreena Hertz Historians can tell you why antisemitism happens, but it takes a great novelist to tease out all the ways it makes Jews feel, about the world and about themselves. Howard Jacobson has a unique eye for the combination of pain and absurdity that this ancient hatred brings to bear on Jewish sensibilities, and an irresistible, shocking wit in its telling. -- Dave Rich Howard Jacobson’s appetite for fiction is insatiable. He just gets better and better -- Giles Coren Incredibly profound, beautifully written and - amazingly and essentially - funny -- Tanya Gold Howl is funny and upsetting and profound. Howard Jacobson is the master chronicler of the Jewish experience at a time when it is needed most. -- Matthew Syed
