Originally, I located this book because of a story about the binding of Isaac, the kind of story you don't forget. But, in reading the other authors in this collection, I developed an admiration for the variety of Jewish fiction out there. The subtitle of this collection references fabulist fiction. Think of the surreal quality of Latin American writers (and many of these writers come from that part of the world) and you will have some idea of how the authors are preoccupied with time. Bottom line, this collection is fun to read and discuss with friends.
