Jonathan Safran Foer - Haggadah
Released: 27/02/2012
Penguin Books
While the adaptation of Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close hits the big screen, and Nathan Englander's new short story collection reaches the shelves, the two literary heavyweights join forces to rework the Passover tale of Exodus. Foer gathers commentaries from contemporary Jewish figures to accompany Englander's new translation.
