Well there goes my idea then

Because someone else beat me to it:

Recent Columbia MFA grad Elisa Albert’s WHEN YOU SAY YOU’RE A JEW, a

short story collection that details with black humor the modern-day

dilemmas of disaffected Jewish women, for publication in summer 2006,

and an untitled novel, for publication in 2007, to Maris Kreizman at

Free Press, in a pre-empt, by Jennifer Lyons at Writers House (NA).

All kidding aside, this is a collection I’m certainly looking forward to. Albert’s earlier work includes a story published in Pindeldyboz, an essay about her then-upcoming nuptials for the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles,  and an essay featured in BODY OUTLAWS, a collection focusing on image issues.
