Summary: Read this Book!
Comment: My Jewish Face & Other Stories is an amazing collection of interconnected short stories that tackle the issues of Jewish identity, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, social activism, rape, lesbian relationships, parent-child relationships....and the list goes on. Surprisingly, I didn't feel overwhelmed. Kaye/Kantrowitz's poetic writing style gives such attention to detail that it can address big issues without becoming convoluded and confusing. She doesn't try to "solve" anything; she just shows how these issues manifest themselves in her different characters. As a young, heterosexual, non-Jewish woman, I had a little trouble relating to the characters, but through my struggle to understand them, I learned a lot about a culture different from mine. I laughed, I nearly cried, and I couldn't put this book down. The ending left me stunned and gave me A LOT to contemplate. Read this book with an open mind, and you will be glad you did.
