This wise nonfiction meditation on Jewish identity in the twenty-first century and very particularly on Greene's own identity-familial, religious, cultural, held deep in the marrow-also brims over with grief and fury (and bemusement and love). I found it riveting reading. -Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English

“Witty…poignant…acerbic…deftly blends the personal with the political…Jew(ish) is full of eclectic reflections and offers plenty of interesting food for thought.” —The Independent “This wise nonfiction meditation on Jewish identity in the twenty-first century and very particularly on Greene’s own identity—familial, religious, cultural, held deep in the marrow—brims over with grief and fury (and bemusement and love). I found it riveting reading.” —Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer’s English “A beautifully fluid, nuanced and vital read: by turns hilarious, harrowing and heartwarming, and always thoroughly compelling.” —Musa Okwonga, author of How to Avoid Detection “It is a wonderful, acerbically funny memoir that captures what it means to be an ‘other’ in Britain. Although focused on the experience of British Jews, there was much that I related to on both the intimate and social scale. Read it, you won’t regret it.” —Nadifa Mohamed, author of The Fortune Men
