In the late 1950s, Israeli Ben-Zion Netanyahu, a historian specializing in the history of the Holy Inquisition, gives a lecture at an American university with the aim of being hired. American-Jewish professor Reuben Bloom is also a member of the evaluation committee. Bloom hosts Netanyahu and his family at his house. An ideological gap separates them and the coexistence of the two families will lead to insane situations.

"The Netanyahus" (PULITZER PRIZE 2022) is a novel based on true events revealed by Harold Bloom, shortly before his death, to the author Joshua Cohen (born 1980), and it concerns the family of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
