At its core, the novel focuses on Larry, a formerly observant Orthodox Jew who refuses to say Kaddish, the mourner’s prayer, daily for his recently deceased father. Instead, he uses an Internet-based alternative to avoid his obligation. Englander captures every emotion in dialogue reminiscent of Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, and listeners will want to replay the audiobook to experience every nuance of Englander’s prose and Shapiro’s exceptional performance.
