Canadian Book Review ~ Rubble Children by Aaron Kreuter

Happy publication to Rubble Children by Governor General Award finalist, Aaron Kreuter, published by University of Alberta Press.

Rubble Children is a timely and necessarily explorative read, tackling Jewish belonging, settler colonialism, Zionism and anti-Zionism, love requited and unrequited, and cannabis culture, all drenched in suburban wonder and dread.

"What if the worldview you were raised in turns out to be monstrous? In the stories that form Aaron Kreuter examines a Jewish community in flux, caught between its historical fealty to Israel and a growing awakening and resistance to it. Rubble Children is a book of great range: at once political, communitarian, empathetic, funny, revolutionary, touching, and hopeful. This is a work that is essential for our moment." Saeed Teebi, author of Her First Palestinian

Engaging, funny, dark, surprising, Rubble Children is a scream of Jewish rage, a smoky exhalation of Jewish joy, a vivid dream of better worlds.

You can bring home a copy of Rubble Children from wherever books are sold or borrowed.
