Part fiction, part memoir, this comprehensive collection of short works showcases decades of writing by Lynn Gold. Comprising over two hundred individual pieces, Tales, Topics, Trivia, and Travel is wide-ranging, touching on topics such as marriage, family, business, abusive relationships, women’s independence, abortion, education, racism, changing technology, politics, and much more. Sometimes touching, sometimes whimsical, often funny, Gold’s sharp intelligence and wit shines throughout the collection of stories, essays, and verse. Both entertaining and thoughtful, this collection will appeal to people who enjoy short works with a particular interest in a Jewish woman’s experience of twentieth and twenty-first-century North America.
