A great read.By A.L.G.Unusual novella, surreal, sexy, sweet, sour, a labyrinth of Jewishness lookng for a roof over it's head,2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Complex, vivid, and imaginative. A great read!By Anna M. LuerssenPrepare to let go and enjoy the ride as you tumble through Alison Gold's newest gem - Not Not a Jew. The story follows a family of complex, relatable(ish), yet flawed characters from pre-war Europe through to the American present. Gold touches on the often subtle consequences of war and loss for families, particularly in later generations and asks the question what it means to be, or not be, Jewish. Experimental in style, Not Not a Jew stands out for its imaginative, magical, sublime descriptions and imagery. I recommend it whole-heartedly.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A book to be reflected upon long after readingBy Far-Northern ReaderThis unconventional book about two eccentric European Jews and their son glides from realism to the phantasmagorical and back again, crossing time and continents like a flat pebble skipping on the waterrsquo;s surface. A book to be savored like a never-before-tasted tropical cocktail and reflected upon long after the final page is read and the covers closed.

In 1930s Berlin, Eli G. is an abstracted young Jewish painter addled by Marxist idealism and tangled memories of his mother and the shtetl. Longing to move to Paris, Eli feverishly paints maps and watches the baby while his wife Vera gives up her ambition of becoming a doctor and works as an accountant. This is where Not Not a Jew ndash; A Novella in Verst, by Alison Leslie Gold, begins, wryly shadowing the life arcs of Eli, Vera, and their son Ira who are depicted in glistening kaleidoscopic shards. Although Ira tries to lose himself through sex, food, and restless travel, he returns to his parents to grapple with his birthright as their lives are ending. In Not Not a Jew, internationally acclaimed Holocaust writer Alison Leslie Gold presents a boldly surrealistic novella that explores Jewish identity, rootlessness, Diaspora and self-absorption in a century of upheaval and annihilation.
