David Bezmozgis's The Betrayers (Little, Brown) gives us one fraught, momentous day in the life of Baruch Kotler, a Soviet Jewish dissident who now finds himself a disgraced Israeli politician. When he refuses to back down from a contrary but principled stand regarding settlements in the West Bank, his political opponents expose his affair with a mistress decades his junior. An aging man grasping for a final passion, he is drawn inexorably into a crucible that is both personal and biblical in scope. With prose that is elegant, sly, and devastating in its awareness of the human heart, The Betrayers is a story for the ages, an inquest into the nature of fate and consequence, love and forgiveness.
