Everything has changed the sights, the sound, the spirit. He too is not who he was.

He shouts at the television. He carries his own tin of paint to cover up graffiti. The staffroom at the primary school of which he is headmaster has become a battlefield of inflamed opinion he does nothing to quiet.His wife Charmian is a beacon of calm but even she isn't sure she can save Ferdie from himself. 'Don't worry about me,' he tells her. 'I don't have what it takes to go mad.'He just gets better and better' Giles Coren

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Howard Jacobson

Howard Jacobson, of Jewish origin, was born in Manchester in 1945.
His novels focus on the relationships and behaviors of British Jewish society, which has led critics to consider him the "English Philip Roth." He says, however, ironically, that he prefers to be known as the "Jewish Jane Austen."
Alongside his writing, he also taught English at Wolverhampton Polytechnic in the West Midlands, at Selwyn College, and at the University of Sydney. He also participated in several television programs on the British channel Channel 4.
The Finkler Question, winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize, is the author's first book published in Portugal.
