Summary
"In Writing a Jewish Life, novelist Lev Raphael chronicles his struggles to claim both his religious and sexual identities, and the happiness he subsequently found. A son of Holocaust survivors, Raphael came to a positive Jewish identity late in life and his gay identity even later. He describes growing up in an unmistakably Jewish but nonreligious home, discovering a Jewish community, early sexual exploration, the turning point that came with writing his first autobiographical story, and life with his partner Gersh and their two sons."--BOOK JACKET.
