In exploring what it means to be queer and Jewish in America, Hoffman (literature, Temple U., Philadelphia) examines Talmudic concepts of gender and related sexual identity issues in Jewish American fiction and drama. These include Sholem Asch's 1907 female homoerotic-themed Yiddish drama God of Vengeance, Abraham Cahan's 1917 novel The Rise of David Levitsky, actress Molly Picon's cross-dressing roles, and gender ambiguity in I.B. Singer short stories such as "Yentl the Yeshiva Boy." The illustrated book concludes with a reading of recent queer takes on these classics, e.g., Shtik!, Sara Felder's reenactment of God of Vengeance.
