"Joshua Cohen's Witz is a work that is difficult to evaluate, and this is part of its complex virtue. It is hard to know what to make of a novel that simultaneously attempts to place itself in the tradition of the Great American Novel, allows itself prolixity and lyricism in an age of sparse prose and, above all else, demands of its reader more hours of hard concentration than the world generally permits bltadwin.ru: Joshua Cohen.

Witz. Joshua Cohen, Author. Dalkey Archive $ (p) ISBN An extravagant poeticism combined with an unbridled imagination burst from each considerable page of Cohen’s. Plot summary. In Witz, Joshua Cohen calls all religious Jews "Affiliated". After the sabbath meal a week before Christmas, Benjamin is born to Israel and Hanna Israelien in Joysey, the first son after 12 girls. This winter is particularly hard and in fact persists year round. Benjamin is born full grown (by a method explored by Flann O'Brien in At Swim-Two-Birds), with a beard and glasses. And here it is: Joshua Cohen’s Witz is a polarizing work: Some respond to its intricacies with verve and applause, while others hesitate to dole out the accolades. It is, ultimately, a young man’s book—Cohen flexes his literary muscles throughout, stretching them to the utmost.
