In the kingdom of Calabash, he can have everything he’s ever wanted from life. There’s only one small problem: Calabash doesn’t technically exist. In a country that’s still hungover from the sixties, Kay finds it all too easy to retreat from reality.

Call Me Ishtar: A Novel (Library Of Modern Jewish Literature Ser.)
by Rhoda LermanFrom the award-winning author of God&’s Ear: A &“wildly funny, achingly spiritual, profoundly Jewish and feminist&” satire of religion and gender politics (The New York Times Book Review).
