2good2btrue: I’ve heard that a lot. If I ever decide to read something like that I should probably look into it.
It’s funny, because one of the first of the stereotypical Jewish books was, I believe, The Gordian Knot by Yair Weinstock (I know it was his first book- I don’t know who wrote them before him). It’s actually quite good (though I don’t love the translation) if you skip the third part (it comes in three parts). If he had written only the first two parts, it would have been an amazing book (IMHO). The third part added all the neo-Nazis and Muslim fundamentalists trying to blow up the kosel and bacteriological bombs and all that kind of stuff. It was way overdone. But the story in the first two parts is very, very good.
