A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year
"[A] bold, compassionate, genre-hopping novel." --The New York Times Book Review "Superb: a work of psychological precision and moral force, with an immediacy that captures both timeless human truth and the perplexities of the present day." --Colson Whitehead "[A] brutal, beautiful masterpiece." --NPR "Exhilarating." --Los Angeles Times "Haunting." --Esquire "A subtle, nuanced, fierce novel." --Julian Barnes, The Guardian "One of more consistently brilliant, bold, and funny writers." --Dave Eggers "Dinner at the Center of the Earth blends elements of spy thriller and love story, magical realism, and an all-too-real history of one of the world's most intractable problems: peace between Israel and its neighbors." --The Boston Globe "It's difficult to describe Englander's novel without giving something away. There's a delicious puzzle that becomes evident as it unfolds. . . . As weighty and political as Dinner at the Center of the Earth seems, it's also a plot-driven page-turner. . . . We must now compare Englander to Graham Greene as well as Philip Roth. And he comes off well in the comparison." --Houston Chronicle "Dinner at the Center of the Earth illuminates the zealot's blindness, the patriot's struggle for clarity, and the enduring dream of a coming together." --O, The Oprah MagazineThe new novel from the Pulitzer-nominated, bestselling author of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges—a political thriller set against the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In the Negev desert, a nameless prisoner languishes in a secret cell, his only companion the guard who has watched over him for a dozen years. Meanwhile, the prisoner’s arch nemesis—The General, Israel’s most controversial leader—lies dying in a hospital bed. From Israel and Gaza to Paris, Italy, and America, Englander provides a kaleidoscopic view of the prisoner’s unlikely journey to his cell. Dinner at the Center of the Earth is a tour de force—a powerful, wryly funny, intensely suspenseful portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, and the man who improbably lands at the center of it all.
