He lands a part in the school play, The Diary of Anne Frank, and while he should be imagining the suffering of the Holocaust, he feels real tsuris over falling for the kid who's playing Peter van Daan. Even college is no escape, as his freshman roommate happens to be gorgeous and rarely dressed. Author Daniel M. Jaffe's newest novel offers readers a compelling young hero trying to find a path between desire and devotion, often with advice from the voice of God, or at least how Jake imagines the Almighty ​would instruct a young man to do the right thing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50310004506897,"sku":"CIN1590216717VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383775629585,"sku":"CIN1590216717G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590216717.jpg?v=1786278287"},{"product_id":"with-signs-wonders-book-daniel-m-jaffe-9780967968353","title":"With Signs \u0026 Wonders","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367538331921,"sku":"CIN0967968356VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52575016714513,"sku":"CIN0967968356G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0967968356.jpg?v=1751203125"},{"product_id":"foreign-affairs-book-daniel-m-jaffe-9781734146424","title":"Foreign Affairs","description":"Lambda Literary Award 2021 Nominated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this newest short story collection from award-winning writer, Daniel M. Jaffe, red-blooded American men revel in wild romps, lose themselves in romances, discover unexpected friendships, and wrestle with shocking encounters, all while vacationing abroad. These travelers befriend a serial killer in a Munich bathhouse, a gay Holocaust ghost in Prague, a shape-shifting seductress in Mexico City, a desperate prostitute in Seville, a closeted Catholic school administrator in Dublin, an old woman who feels herself a prisoner in Soviet Leningrad. On an El Al flight home from Israel, a New Yorker tries to make sense of a fellow passenger contentedly sealed head-to-toe in a plastic bag. A tourist from West Hollywood wonders in Spain whether he should cruise a handsome older man seemingly right out of an El Greco painting. A New Jersey suburbanite strives to suppress forbidden urges while on a public Puerto Rico beach. The Americans here are young, middle-aged, senior. They are gay, bi, and straight men longing for other men, for women, for a trans old friend. Whereas many of these stories are realistic, others bring to life ghostly incarnations of those long dead, beings who defy definition, even the Devil himself. In Foreign Affairs, Daniel M. Jaffe blends humor, suspense, and eroticism with compassion for human frailty and respect for the universal struggle not simply to endure but to overcome. These stories titillate, intrigue, and tug at heartstrings.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat People Are Saying About \u003cem\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaffe's lively limpid prose features sharply etched characters and passages that shift between absurdist humor...sly social observation...and wry sensuality.

Jaffe, a Jewish Princeton student who spends two summers in the oppressive, antisemitic USSR of the late 1970s. While there, he befriends Soviet Jews, refuseniks (Soviet Jews denied government permission to emigrate), and political dissidents who are living under constant government threat.  The KGB surveils and arrests Daniel, warning him never to return. He returns anyway. \nOver multiple subsequent trips behind the Iron Curtain, Daniel quietly brings in money, medicine, and vital information from Western human rights organizations to support his friends and others, who are, one by one, being arrested, imprisoned, then sentenced to labor camp or internal exile. Back in the US, Daniel leads a Jewish human rights committee at Harvard Law School, translating and circulating smuggled dissident trial transcripts to help promote international protest campaigns in efforts to free political prisoners.\nBut Russian Silhouette is more than a Cold War thriller; it is a memoir of personal liberation. Inspired by his friends' courage in the face of authoritarianism, Daniel gains the strength to come out as gay and fight for civil rights at home. Russian Silhouette demonstrates the power of political activism and tikkun olam - the imperative to repair the world - to help others and heal oneself.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54651314471185,"sku":"NIN9781968983048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54713975177489,"sku":"NLS9781968983048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781968983048.jpg?v=1789231741"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-daniel-m-jaffe.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
