Oy veh! If this book chronicles Julietta's Appleton's first 50 years, one can only imagine the sequel! Julietta's mother died when she was nine. Her father, a blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter, sent his daughter to 17 different schools in the U.S. and Europe, including Catholic boarding schools. Julietta has lived in 36 different homes in 6 different countries, and developed a witty and keen sense of observation along the way. She survived her mother's peculiar health practices, grooved through the '60s without any permanent damage, raised and sent kids off to college, lived through the detonation of her marriage, and endured life in the suburbs as a single woman. A car accident in 1996 left her with a mild but permanent brain injury and chronic pain. And as if that were not enough, her fiancé of two months died suddenly of a heart attack just as the two were beginning a new life together. And yet, Julietta manages to find humor in everyday life-sex toys, hurricanes, chocolate, dating, and senile dementia are just some of her targets. She is wickedly funny, naughty, and provocative. Clothing Optional will make you laugh through your tears and cry through your laughter.

Written by authors born into the so-called “dilemma of intermarriage,” the stories in Half/Life explore the experience of being raised in a half-Jewish home. Though each essay is distinct, and the experiences are vastly different, each describes growing up without a streamlined identity, unsure of community or religious direction. From Jenny Traig, whose experiences led her to extreme devotion in the form of religious-obsessive compulsion (scrupulosity) to Thisbe Nissen, who finally felt Jewish after discovering a rosary in her boyfriend’s sock drawer, these authors examine the complicated relationships they felt with the Jewish community and the world at large. By turns tragic and funny, religious and heartbreaking, angry and surprisingly familiar, Half/Life represents the altogether diverse memories and reflections of a handful of men and women who have spent a lifetime grappling with how to define themselves, or not. Resulting from that struggle is a complex exploration, and some truly brilliant prose.

Jennifer Traig's memoir Devil in the Details paints a portrait of a well-meaning Jewish girl and her good-natured parents, and takes a very funny, very sharp look back at growing up with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Recalling the agony of growing up an obsessive-compulsive religious fanatic, Traig fearlessly confesses the most peculiar behavior like tirelessly scrubbing her hands for a full half hour before dinner, feeding her stuffed animals before herself, and washing everything she owned because she thought it was contaminated by pork fumes. Jennifer's childhood mania was the result of her then undiagnosed OCD joining forces with her Hebrew studies-what psychiatrists call scrupulosity While preparing for her bat mitzvah, she was introduced to an entire set of arcane laws and quickly made it her mission to follow them perfectly. Her parents nipped her religious obsession in the bud early on, but as her teen years went by, her natural tendency toward the extreme led her down different paths of adolescent agony and mortification. Years later, Jennifer remembers these scenes with candor and humor. In the bestselling tradition of Running with Scissors and A Girl Named Zippy, Jennifer Traig tells an unforgettable story of youthful obsession.
