Queer Jewish Authors, Characters, and People

This week is Jewish Book Week! To celebrate, we compiled a list of our favorite books with queer Jewish characters. Also includes queer books by Jewish authors that don't necessarily include obvious Jewish representation. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

I'd also recommended Depart, Depart! by Sim Kern.

Oh, I'm not familiar with that one, I'll pass it along to the crew!

Also The Prospects by KT Hoffman!

ah, one of the folks who contributes to these lists has mentioned that book for other rec lists, I wonder if they forgot that it had a Jewish character!

It's not a salient part of the characters story but the book does come with a very wholesome bagel recipe at the end ❤️
