:
Larry is the secular son in a family of Orthodox Brooklyn Jews. When hisfather dies, it's his responsibility to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayerfor the dead, every day for eleven months.
To the horror and dismay of his sister, Larry refuses - imperilling the fateof his father's soul. To appease her, Larry hatches an ingenious if cynicalplan, hiring a stranger through a website called kaddish.com to recite theprayer and shepherd his father's soul safely to rest.
This is Nathan Englander's freshest and funniest work to date - a satire thattouches, lightly and with unforgettable humour, on the conflict betweenreligious and secular worlds, and the hypocrisies that run through both.

Review
"Englander is mischievously hilarious, nightmarish, suspenseful, inquisitive,and deliriously tender in this concentrated tale of tradition andimprovisation, faith and love."-- Booklist
_"[An] excellent comic dissection of Jewish-American life...This novel readslike Chaim Potok filtered through the sensibility of Mel Brooks. Englanderwrites cogently about Jewish-American assimilation, and, in his practicedhands, he makes Shuli's journey, both outer and inner, a simultaneouslyhumorous and deeply moving one." -- Publishers Weekly
