Jeffrey F. Barken's debut collection combines the intimacy of the
short story form with the scope of a novel, glimpsing
interconnected characters at frightening and emotional moments. Two
childhood friends have betrayed each other. Myles Fletcher flees
East to Israel, while Ari Shultz drives West across the United
States. Kassam rockets fly in the prize-winning story The Guns in
Gaza, and in Draft Dodger, a young man sneaks across the Israeli
border, determined to visit his family after many years in exile.
Meanwhile, in The News From Lebanon, Dr. Simon Shultz quietly
awaits his mother's death in her Florida condo. The title story,
This Year in Jerusalem, brings eccentric characters together from
all corners of the world for a Thanksgiving feast. The collection
is beautifully illustrated with Indian ink and Acrylic paintings by
Diana Muller.
