About
I’m a lifelong journalist who turned to fiction writing and memoir. I began my career working for The Jerusalem Report before joining Reuters and eventually the Globe and Mail as a columnist. I once got into a stranger’s car in a deserted part of Jerusalem to meet a spy. Another time, a photographer left me in an abandoned parking lot behind a crack house in Vancouver, where I found my best interview subjects. You can’t make this stuff up. But there are some things that I still can. Most of what I post here is true and focused on my research into my grandmother’s story, the use (and misuse) of Holocaust memory, and its role in Jewish identity. I am calling this work in progress, The Synagogue at the End of the World. It’s not all that serious, I promise.
