As Jacob struggled with an angel, Izzie the K — a comic inspired by Kafka — and Edie — a woman disaffected from patriarchal Judaism — wrestle with their identities as contemporary American Jews. Izzie introduces us to Elsa Lasker-Schuler and Walter Benjamin, two German-Jewish writers of the 1930's devoted to the German language who, confronted by Nazism, become refugees wrenched from their German cultural roots. Together they take us on a compelling journey that reveals the ongoing struggle between our identity as Jews and as citizens of the world.
