Book looks brand new and unread to me. >>> So what is the book about? Well, this is the story of Julian Treslove, once of the BBC (pleasingly satirised) and now making a living as a celebrity lookalike. Treslove is not Jewish but, in simple terms, the narrative details his love affair with and besotted inquiry into what Jewishness means politically, socially, economically, romantically, intellectually, emotionally, culturally, musically and so on. Treslove has only a "timid" awareness of his place in the universe "ringed by a barbed wire fence of rights and limits". He wants to be part of something vast and ancient, something abounding and intense. He wants to be Jewish.
