This book celebrates everything from half-Jewish humor (half-Jewish/half-Catholic Bill Maher: I come from a mixed religious background—when I went to confession, I brought a lawyer with me) to half-Jewish beauty (Gwyneth Paltrow, Joan Collins and Jane Seymour, just for starters); from half-Jewish writers (Proust, Salinger) to half-Jewish characters in fiction by writers ranging from Philip roth to Robert Stone and including that half-Jewish cartoon phenomenon Tommy Pickles; and from an eye-opening essay on half-Jewish identity to the often misunderstood history of half-Jews in the Holocaust. Original interviews, half-Jewish holiday cards and menus, poetry and song lyrics, and paintings and photographs combine to make this an entertaining, intelligent, exuberant and thought-provoking reading experience.
