He also becomes famous as the good people of Basel rise up and punish the poor schlub of a mohel in an anti-Semitic frenzy. Xavier takes up painting -- creating portraits of his neurotic, coldhearted mother holding his testicle -- and fantasizes about how he and Awromele can run away together and proceed with their project to translate "Mein Kampf" into Yiddish.

Religious Jews will not speak God's name. In the Radek household, it's Hitler who is referred to as You-Know-Who, the icon of evil with whom Grunberg wickedly aligns his passive-aggressive young hero, from his magnetic dark eyes to the missing testicle, minor artistic talent yoked to rampant megalomania, and a foul obsession with Jews.

Xavier wants to be their healer even as he thinks that "the Jews might have nothing, but at the same time they had everything.

They had a country of their own; they had nuclear weapons, too; they had Einstein and Billy Wilder. Xavier finally returns to the scene of the crime the next day and, in a burlesque of ineptness and penance, loads his mangled beloved into a wheelbarrow. He does, after all, want to forgive the chosen people one by one for "all the wrongs they had committed throughout the centuries.

Why do Jews yearn for a Messiah? Seems a bit un-Jewish?

For the guilt they had imposed on others. For the almost unforgivable guilt they had imposed upon themselves, by being born. After a messy sojourn in Amsterdam, during which Awromele is wildly unfaithful, the couple immigrate to Israel.

With King David-in-a-jar at his side and dirty tricks up his sleeves, Xavier becomes prime minister of the Promised Land.

Grunberg is a master of stealthy wit, land mine-like understatement, whiplash dialogue and lacerating social commentary. Every character is brought to excruciatingly vivid life in sharply etched if ludicrous scenes of menace, subterfuge, grotesque psychosis and diabolical cruelty.

Each shrewdly constructed and unnerving encounter is designed to expose hypocrisy, guilt, pain, ignorance and unreason, the chemistry of inhumanity. While Grunberg's absurdist parody is devilishly clever and robustly ironic, it is too grim and freighted for laugh-out-loud humor.
