Running Fiercely Toward A High Thin Sound by Judith Katz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Nadine Pagan's dyke sister Jane wants to find her. Her lover Rose wants to marry her. And her mother Fay wants to forget her. All Nadine wants is to stop the buzzing in her head. Running Fiercely Toward a High Thin Soundfollows Nadine's (nee Morningstar) adventures as she escapes from her incendiary Jewish family into the lesbian town of New Chelm-and far beyond. This is the novel Isaac Bashevis Singer might have written if he'd been a lesbian with a keen eye for contemporary middle-class assimilation. It's Jewish magical lesbian realism, a good story, and a dynamic piece of writing. Judith Katzis the author of two published novels, The Escape Artist and Running Fiercely Toward a High Thin Sound, which won the 1992 Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Fiction. She teaches cultural studies and literature courses for the University of Minnesota's Center for Jewish Studies. | Running Fiercely Toward A High Thin Sound by Judith Katz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
