Right Thing to Do at the Time
Right Thing to Do at the Time | Dov Zeller
5 posts | 4 to read
If Jane Austen and Sholem Aleichem (Fiddler on the Roof) schemed in an elevator, this just might be their pitch. Ari is Elizabeth and Itche is Jane--and this Jewish, queer, New York City retelling of Pride and Prejudice is for everyone. Ari Wexler, a trans guy in his late 20s, is barely scraping by. His family life is a mess, he feels like a failure when it comes to love, and his job at a music library is on the rocks. His relationship with Itche Mattes, his doting best friend, helps him get through the days. Then a famous actress comes to town and sweeps Itche off his feet, leaving her dreadful sidekick to step on Ari's toes. A romantic comedy full of angsty wrestling matches between idealism and cynicism, work and art, and friendship and romance. It will keep you guessing until the very end.

It‘s a themed month for me, lol. I‘m rereading P&P with the lovely #pemberlittens and I‘ll try to read both of the pictures retellings this month as well. I also bought some fancy soap last month and I‘ll be trying out the appropriate ‘pride and poppyseed‘ - it smells so good!

This book is described as a "Jewish, queer, New York City retelling of Pride and Prejudice", in which Elizabeth Bennett's character is a trans Jewish guy. HOW COOL DOES THIS BOOK SOUND ???? This is exactly the kind of queer romance novel I've been searching for ??? #queerbooks

This is for @LeahBergen who is doing a pride and prejudice thing right now. This says it's a "Jewish, queer, New York retelling" and it was part of yesterday's #bookmail

LeahBergen That sounds mighty interesting! 6y

Reading a netgalley-title that has yet to make it to the Litsy database (The Right Thing To Do at the Time by Dov Seller) and it's full of stuff like this and I adore it. We all need a Great Butter Dish to help us find the answers to all the big questions, don't we? 😂
