Hey fellow readers of @bookstodon ! I'm looking for your #recommendations!
Right now I'm on the search for #Jewish authors. Bonus points if they happen to also be #LGBTQ authors. What I'm NOT looking for is #Holocaust stories. I've read a lot of those in the past, and at this point it feels like #TraumaPorn for me to read more. I will read all genres, but romance and horror are usually bottom of the list.
Thanks in advance!

@lilcoppertop @bookstodon Jonathan Safran Foer -- "Everything Is Illuminated" is great, and so is the movie. It's not set during the holocaust, but it is about the holocaust -- the story focuses on members of a Holocaust survivor family, but two generations removed from the Holocaust (both before and after).
Another good book of his is Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close -- but that could also be 'traumaporn', since the focus is on a boy whose father dies during the 9/11 attacks.
