Description: "This collection of essays gives voice to what some American Jews feel but don't express about their uneasy state of mind. In confrontation with this self-consciousness S. L. Wisenberg is both engaged and urgent. These essays creatively, and sometimes audaciously, address the question of what it means to be an American Jew trying to negotiate overlapping identities - woman, writer, and urban intellectual in search of a moral way."--BOOK JACKET.
