SynopsisWinner of the 2025 Friends of American Writers Adult Literature Award A 2024 Foreword INDIES Finalist A 2025 Sophie Brody Medal Notable Book A Jewish Women's Archive Summer Book Club Pick At twenty-three, Michelle Ephraim was failing at everything. The only child of reclusive Holocaust-survivor parents who were dismayed by her literary studies, she found herself dumped by her boyfriend and bombing out of graduate school. Then, one night, she crashed a Shakespeare recitation party. Loopy from vodka and never having read a single line of Shakespeare, she was transfixed. Shakespeare, she decided, was the lifeline she needed. Green World is the hilarious and heartbreaking story of Ephraim's quest to become a Shakespeare scholar and to find community and home. As she studies Shakespeare, Ephraim's world uncannily begins to mirror the story of the Jewish daughter in The Merchant of Venice , and she finds herself in a Green World, an idyllic place where Shakespeare's heroines escape their family trauma. Green World reckons with global, historical, and personal tragedy and shows how literature--comic and tragic--can help us brave every kind of anguish., Tells the hilarious and heartbreaking story of Michelle Ephraim's quest to become a Shakespeare scholar and to find community and home.
