although i am not jewish myself, i believe thoroughly that zionism is not a requirement for judaism and therefore it must be accepted to proudly support jewish voices against the genocide. here are some books by anti-zionist authors to support this jewish american heritage month and beyond!

Did you know there's more to Jewish fiction than WWII books? Suggestions welcome as long as they aren't zionist propaganda 🇵🇸

Books featuring a day in the life for characters in a high-stress, high-stakes environment where no matter how bad things get, intense fear won't put food on the table. Every day could be your last, but it's not over yet, so...

The general vibe of this list is to collect books which, rather than changing the world through a heroic perfect storm, involve a slice-of-life portrayal of a character's daily journey through a rather dangerous path.

Some retellings change settings, some change viewpoint characters, others add magic to the mundane world. A list of retellings, prequels and sequels of the novels of Charles Dickens.

The list includes nominations for the Best Novel category from the Edgar Awards which is given by the Mystery Writers of America.
