Jewcy: Thea Hillman Interview
MR: Your first book was a kind of poetry disguised as memoir. But in Intersex, the subject matter is unquestionably you. Do you think of this book as a polemic? A mission statement? Or is it more, like, throwing your life out there—and, by the way, it's the life of an intersex person?

Cookbook review: A Taste of Israel
Israeli food is known for a lot of things, but refinement is not traditionally one of them.
There is the falafel mentality (crispy and greasy), the hummus-and-pine-nuts-platter mentality (quick, clean and healthy) and the pomegranate-seed mentality (exotic and Mediterranean, but scant, like the kind of food you’d expect birds to eat in an Israeli rainforest).

Francesca Lia Block interview
"I’m just dealing with how characters respond to situations. It’s funny because I actually perceive Ruby as a much more active heroine than Weetzie – she goes after what she wants and gets it. Grace seems to me to be one of my most brave characters because what she has to face is so immense."

Silver Jews interview
"I like the narrative nature. The stories. The mix of humor and despair. It’s just something I’ve always been fond of."

Back in the USSR
I grew up in a community in Northeast Philadelphia that, in the early 1990's, suddenly became very Russian. Stores changed signs, and the conversations on the 67 bus became incomprehensible. In Hebrew school we learned that very bad things had happened to the Jews of the former Soviet Union and that they were now permitted to escape. Not that we were ever told what those things were.

Franz Kafka
As his dying wish, the writer Franz Kafka asked that all his manuscripts be burned. If he were alive today, Kafka would be sorely disappointed. Not only is he widely regarded as one of the greatest authors of the 20th century, but his name has become a part of standard English; the adjective Kafkaesque is used to describe situations and people that are surreal, disorienting, and often menacing.
