Arnon Grunberg, a Dutch author living in New York, has won a number of literary prizes. He has a mischievous imagination. In The Jewish Messiah (2008), he recounts the crazy and hilarious saga of the grandson of an SS member who is convinced that he is destined to become a great Jewish savior. This cruel and bizarre tale, set against a messianic fever, merges with a powerful analysis of Jewish identity. We find this caustic cynicism in Monkey Grabbing Hold of Happiness, a satire about the small world of Dutch diplomats. .
