Descent -- How to clean up any stain -- Running -- Hands across America -- The dangers of salmonella -- Entebbe -- Thanksgiving -- Ask for a convertible -- On being French -- Your own private America -- Land of ass and honey -- Selling the apartment -- Ascent.
A wonderfully assured debut that ponders what it means to be Israeli, to be American, or to be a little bit of both. In these connected stories, Danit Brown introduces Osnat Greenberg: a slightly fatalistic darkly funny, and utterly winning heroine who is struggling to find her place in the world.
