If you would like to download a copy of my new novella-length essay, “All of Us, We All Are Arameans,” which Ploughshares just published as part of its Ploughshares Solos series, here is the link:
“All of Us, We All Are Arameans”.
I wish I could share it with you for free, but I’m trying to help support Ploughshares, which has supported me for so many years by publishing my work. The essay only costs 99 cents and can be downloaded to either a Kindle or a Nook.
Here’s a description of what it’s about:
“All of Us, We All Are Arameans”
Eileen Pollack
Stuck with a plane ticket to Israel bought for her by a Polish Catholic ex-boyfriend, Eileen Pollack sets out on a hectic, solitary journey around the country, cataloging the region’s rich history, natural beauty, and troubled politics, while examining her own complicated relationship to her Jewish faith and heritage. In this darkly comic, incisive, and nuanced essay, Pollack upends the reader’s expectations as well as her own. A travel essay filled with bewilderment, outrage, humor, and faith, “All of Us, We All Are Arameans” takes us on a trip around Israel and the West Bank that few American tourists would have the chutzpah to attempt.
