In her critically acclaimed debut story collection, Elisa Albert boldly illuminates a genuine cross portion of disaffected young Jews. With wit, compassion, and a decidedly iconoclastic 21st-century frame of mind, in prose that is by converts hilarious and harrowing, Albert has created characters searching for popularity, a happier view of days gone by, and above all the possibility of another. Holidays, family gatherings, and rites of passage supply the backdrop for these ten provocative experiences. From the fatality of a a friendly relationship in "So Long" to a sexually frustrated young mother's regression to bat mitzvah -- aged antics in "Everything But," and culminating with the powerful and uproariously apropos finale of "Etta or Bessie or Dora or Rose," How This Evening Is Different will excite, charm, and profoundly resonate with anyone who's ever thought ambivalent about his / her faith, culture, or devote the world.
