Biografía breve
The son of Holocaust survivors, Lev Raphael is a pioneer in writing fiction about America's Second Generation, publishing his first short story about children of survivors in 1978. Many of his early stories on this theme were collected in his award-winning book, Dancing on Tisha B'Av, while the best of those and newer ones appear in his second collection Secret Anniversaries of the Heart.

First off, I really enjoyed this book. I always find it interesting to see a story from another character's point of view, and Raphael did a wonderful job of showing us Edith Wharton's classic from Rosedale's POV. The style was kept true to the time period, and made this all the more enjoyable. Siegerman did an excellent job narrating, bringing the story to life. I loved the range used to turn both characters and events into a captivating listen. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who loves the classics, and I definitely think the story was enhanced by the audio. A must-listen!… (más)

What a spoof - of writing and publishing, and academics and academic life! Lots of references to literature - Raphael has a PhD in the subject. Throw in a gay couple, a scattering of lesbians and a conservative preacher. It's a funny and quick read.

An interesting, well-written look of the son of Holocaust survivors who goes to Germany on an author's tour. He must confront his mixed feelings about the country that so forever altered his life.

Dancing on Tisha B'av is a collection of short stories about being gay and Jewish. It was published in 1990, but many of the stories were published before then, in the 1980s. There is a lot of talk about AIDS, which makes sense considering it was a prominent fear at that time. A few of the stories feature men who are proudly, happily gay but stuck in relationships with closet cases. "Betrayed by David Bowie" was a good one (oh, but it made me sick). There are some stories having less to do with homosexuality and more to do with the Jewish family unit. I appreciated the female characters - the strong, beautiful sisters and the mothers who were Holocaust survivors. They never seemed shrill or stereotypical, and their concerns were given as much weight as those by the male characters. I was expecting all the stories to be from the POV of gay men, but they weren't. The author did quite a good job with characterization and story-telling. Each chapter was unique. Good job!… (más)
