joan leegant's an hour in paradise
this book has it all--rabbis and mysterious siamese twins and mysticism and illegitimate children and deadbeat sons and newly religious jews and a little bit of romance (the last story was especially adorable). leegant's short stories are compelling and sweet and i enjoyed every one of them. they're all pretty jewish-centric, but of course i have no problem with that--it's pretty much just a reminder that i should call my bubbe. :)
