Ethan Rosen, an Israeli cultural scholar, only feels at home when travelling. On a flight between Tel Aviv and Vienna, he writes one of his polemics, this time against Rudi Klausinger, his main rival for a professorship. Then he learns that his father is in hospital, and at the bedside in Israel he finds Klausinger, who claims to be his brother. Is his family's story built on a lie? Between Israel and Vienna, a comic novel about Judaism, the Shoah, remembering and forgetting, and about what right the survivors had to found a family, and a state, on a lie.
