SUMMARY:OZ Book Club - Jewish Noir II by Ken­neth Wishnia
DESCRIPTION:The OZ Monthly Book Club meets monthly and welcomes adult readers. Book selections are determined by the group\, with topics that are related to Jewish themes and concepts. Join these casual discussions about the book. \n \nJewish Noir II by Ken­neth Wishnia \nJewish Noir II is unique collection of twenty-three all-new stories (and one reprint) by Jewish and non-Jewish literary and genre writers\, including numerous award-winning authors such as Gabriela Alemán\, Doug Allyn\, Rita Lakin\, Rabbi Ilene Schneider\, E.J. Wagner\, and Kenneth Wishnia\, with a foreword by MWA Grand Master Lawrence Block. The stories explore such issues as the perpetual challenge of confronting resurgent anti-Semitism in the US\, the enduring legacy of regional warfare in the land of Israel since biblical times\, how the “entitled” behavior of certain ultra-Orthodox communities can fuel anti-Semitic attitudes\, Jewish support of the civil rights movement\, greedy Jewish businessmen who reinforce negative ethnic stereotypes\, the excesses of “golden ghetto” American Jews\, the appeal of “tough” Israeli-Jewish soldiers and mercenaries\, how real estate fortunes are made\, and the consequences of political corruption that feed into an exploitive system\, how obsession can lead “good” people to do “bad” things. The stories in this collection include many “teachable moments” about the history of prejudice\, and the contradictions of ethnic identity and assimilation into American society.
