Description
When a celebrated economist dies unexpectedly just before a major international prize is announced, four longtime friends make a startling decision: to conceal his death until the outcome is known. What begins as an act of loyalty soon exposes the resentments, rivalries, compromises, and private ambitions beneath their decades-long friendship. Set against the intellectual and social worlds of contemporary Israel, this darkly comic novel explores aging, status, morality, and the stories people tell to preserve their public identities. Witty, sharply observed, and suspenseful, it offers an incisive portrait of friendship under pressure.
