Words of the Week: Susan Blumberg-Kason
By mid-November, my agent emailed me out of the blue that her boss wanted her to pull Golda’s biography from the editors who were still reading it. I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me, but suggested we approach university presses, which have Jewish studies series. My agent simply replied it’s not a good time – there’s too much anti-Zionism in publishing now, refusing to discuss the matter any further.
From “On Identity and Gatekeeping,” an important essay by my friend (and co-board member for The Artists Against Antisemitism) Susan Blumberg-Kason, published as a guest post on Lee Kofman’s website.
Too depressing.
But this story has a triumphant ending!
Yes! A terrible situation, but wonderful to read of her strength & the good news from a great press.

After I wrote the above response, I burst into tears.
