A memoir and an examination of the nature of Jewish identity in an increasingly secular world, Confessions of a Secular Jew is an account of the pain of a heritage lost, not only in the religious sense, but in the sense of history, culture and humour. A wrestling match with the questions of faith and cultural identity, this book questions and celebrates the future of world Jewish culture. A reflective memoir rich in compelling commentary on twentieth-century politics, literature, and Jewishness' -Booklist '[A] well-wrought memoir... lively and accessible' - Publishers Weekly'
