Book Description
For years, I've been told by friends, family, and professionals that I should write a book about my many colorful run-ins with celebrities, gangsters, politicians--including two presidents, and many more. So here it is, memories of those encounters with mob members, Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, Roberto Clemente, Stephen King, Robert Di Nero, and many others. I've been fortunate to have been in the company of so many great and wonderful people, even if only briefly. Even more fortunate to have survived some of the more notorious encounters with the not-so-wonderful ones, all this lived while wrestling with multiple sclerosis much of my life. Even though my life has been like living under a wobbly, three-legged table, I now live on a stable, four-wheeled power chair.

Book Description
By analyzing its position within the struggles for recognition and reception of different national and ethnic cultural groups, this book offers a bold new picture of Israeli literature. Through comparative discussion of the literatures of Palestinian citizens of Israel, of Mizrahim, of migrants from the former Soviet Union, and of Ethiopian-Israelis, the author demonstrates an unexpected richness and diversity in the Israeli literary scene, a reality very different from the monocultural image that Zionism aspired to create. Drawing on a wide body of social and literary theory, Mendelson-Maoz compares and contrasts the literatures of the four communities she profiles. In her discussion of the literature of the Palestinian citizens of Israel, she presents the question of language and translation, and she provides three case studies of particular authors and their reception. Her study of Mizrahi literature adopts a chronological approach, starting in the 1950s and proceeding toward contemporary Mizrahi writing, while discussing questions of authenticity and self-determination. The discussion of Israeli literature written by immigrants from the former Soviet Union focuses both on authors who write Israeli literature in Russian and of Russian immigrants writing in Hebrew. The final section of the book provides a valuable new discussion of the work of Ethiopian-Israeli writers, a group whose contributions have seldom been previously acknowledged. The picture that emerges from this groundbreaking book replaces the traditional, homogeneous historical narrative of Israeli literature with a diversity of voices, a multiplicity of origins, and a wide range of different perspectives. In doing so, it will provoke researchers in a wide range of cultural fields to look at the rich traditions that underlie it in new and fresh ways.
