In this brilliant memoir, Howard Jacobson describes his journey to his ancestral home in Lithuania to discover his Jewish roots--with stops along the way in the Catskills, Manhattan, Tucson, Los Angeles, Eilat, Jerusalem, Tiberias, Haifa, and Sefat. Roots Schmoots is fast, funny, and furious, but beneath its surface there is a profound and moving exploration of what it is to be a Jew in the late twentieth century.
