A collection of contemporary fiction by British, American and South African Jewish writers. The stories are as diverse as the writers. The haunting title story, by Richard Zimler, concerns a mysterious mirror which reflects the past. Others describe the new South Africa, the erotic possibilities of shoes, the lost Jews of outer space and the search for Kafka in Bronte country... This book reflects the diversity of modern Jewish life and the self-confidence of current Jewish writing.

"There I discovered the mirror. It was standing on top of a dusty seventeenth century Portugese dresser in the twisted-and-turned style made popular following Vasco da Gama's first trip to India, and it caught my attention because it was shaped like a lyre." From the haunting title story by Richard Zimler onwards, this book reflects the diversity of modern Jewish life and the self-confidence of current Jewish writing.
