Gentile reader, and you, Jews, come too. Follow Sue William
Silverman, a one-woman cultural mash-up, on her exploration of
identity among the mishmash of American idols and ideals that
confuse most of us--or should. Pat Boone is our first stop. Now a
Tea Party darling, Boone once shone as a squeaky-clean pop music
icon of normality, an antidote for Silverman's own confusing and
dangerous home, where being a Jew in a Christian school wasn't
easy, and being the daughter of the Anti-Boone was unspeakable. And
yet somehow Silverman found her way, a "gefilte fish swimming
upstream," and found her voice, which in this searching, bracing,
hilarious, and moving book tries to make sense of that most
troubling American condition: belonging, but to what?
Picking apricots on a kibbutz, tramping cross-country in a loathed
Volkswagen camper, appearing in a made-for-television version of
her own life: Silverman is a bobby-soxer, a baby boomer, a hippy, a
lefty, and a rebel with something to say to those of us--most of
us--still wondering what to make of ourselves.
