A review by in2reading
Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me, by Harvey Pekar

3.0

This book was Harvey Pekar's last. It documents his feelings about Israel. As his wife states in the epilogue, he was proudly Jewish but not nationalistic. I was very taken with the illustrations and contributions of JT Waldman. The book probably gave me more Jewish history that I could absorb, but the scenes with Harvey always shine. I will miss his perspective on the world.
