After The Mind-Body Problem

Cover of The Netanyahus

The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen

If you loved Goldstein's brainy protagonist wrestling with philosophy and horniness in equal measure, Cohen's campus farce delivers the same unsparing comedy of Jewish intellectuals who refuse to behave. It's satire with actual teeth—skewering Ivy League pretensions while diving deep into identity, ambition, and the absurdity of gatekeeping genius. Overthinkers who crave big ideas wrapped in neurotic, sexually candid storytelling will feel right at home.
