About this product

Product Information

'He should have seen it coming. His life had been one mishap after ather. So he should have been prepared for this one'. Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular and disappointed BBC worker, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevick, a Czechoslovakian always more concerned with the wider world than with exam results. Now, both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and with Treslove, his chequered and unsuccessful record with women rendering him an horary third widower, they dine at Libor's grand, central London apartment. It's a sweetly painful evening of reminiscence in which all three remove themselves to a time before they had loved and lost; a time before they had fathered children, before the devastation of separations, before they had prized anything greatly eugh to fear the loss of it. Better, perhaps, to go through life without kwing happiness at all because that way you had less to mourn? Treslove finds he has tears eugh for the unbearable sadness of both his friends' losses. And it's that very evening, at exactly 11:30pm, as Treslove hesitates a moment outside the window of the oldest violin dealer in the country as he walks home, that he is attacked. After this, his whole sense of who and what he is will slowly and ineluctably change. The Finkler Question is a scorching story of exclusion and belonging, justice and love, ageing, wisdom and humanity. Funny, furious, unflinching, this extraordinary vel shows one of our finest writers at his brilliant best.

    The book arrived in good condition due to good packaging by the seller and arrived in good time. It was described accurately in the eBay advertisement and while it is not quite as comprehensive as some other books, it is still a good read and decent value for money. All communication and other dealings went well and there were no difficulties of any kind. I can recommend the seller without hesitation. Sincerest thanks to all who helped.
