{"product_id":"9781804442371","title":"Mazeltov : a beautiful debut of queer coming-of-age by Eli Zuzovsky","description":"At a banquet hall, at the onset of war, Adam Weizmann's bar mitzvah party turns into a glorious disaster. On the cusp of manhood - and the verge of a nervous breakdown - Adam has been bracing for his special day, mired in family neuroses and national dysfunction.   In a chorus of voices, a fractious cast of well-wishers narrates Adam's coming-of-age in Israel: his newly devout father and the mystic rituals he practiced on his young son; his best friend, Abbie, who points the way to joyful transgression; Khalil, a Palestinian poet, who offers a glimpse of a different way to be; and Adam himself, filled with shame and desire as he faces the brokenness of his world.   At once tender and lustful, a work of scathing satire and piercing insight, MAZELTOV is a truly original vision of a young man's quest to know his own heart.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307465748853,"sku":"9781804442371","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781804442371.jpg?v=1762804067","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781804442371","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
