I want to read something either created by, or depicting the struggle of, queer Jewish people. Any recommendations are welcome - it can be anything a memoir, fiction, non-fiction, anything.
Thistlefoot is a queer, modern, Jewish Baba Yaga story!
God of Vengeance is an old Yiddish play that explicitly connects homophobia with sacrilege
The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai has a gay Jewish main character and is one of the best AIDS-crisis books I’ve ever read
Anything by S. Bear Bergman (Jewish trans man of butch experience, lots on gender and parenting)
A Rainbow Thread is about queer Jews through the ages - exhaustive research, some of it appearing in English / outside of museum archives for the first time in that book
On my list but unread: - Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow (unsure if it’s gay but it’s gotten great reviews) - Jewish Futures: Science Fiction from the World’s Oldest Diaspora - Soul of the Stranger - Becoming Eve - Balancing on the Mechitza - Memoir of a Man’s Maiden Years - Wrestling with Gd and Men
