![]() Englander says that though he calls it a game in the story, it's not really a game - and that's the point. In the title story - a riff on Raymond Carver's classic What We Talk About When We Talk about Love - a Hasidic couple and a secular Jewish couple play a morbid game called "Righteous Gentile," in which they debate who would hide them during an imaginary second Holocaust. In What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, Englander writes about his own faith - and what it means to be Jewish - in stories that explore religious tension, Israeli-American relations and the Holocaust. The stories in Nathan Englander's new collection are based largely on his experiences growing up as a modern Orthodox Jew with an overprotective mother.
