Fiction and non-fiction: two sides of the same coin – or are they?
In Partita, Gabriel Josipovici’s most enigmatic novel, Michael Penderecki flees a death threat, a body in a bathtub, and Yves Montand’s voice. In A Winter in Zürau, Kafka escapes a stifling office, a domineering father, and an insistent fiancée.
Josipovici joins Jewish Chronicle chief fiction reviewer David Herman to explore the interplay of fact, imagination, and flight.
This event will last approximately 1 hour, with no interval.
