Reviews

“Harriet Ziskin’s The Adventures of Mona Pinsky is one of the best, most delicate and intriguing novels it has ever  been my privilege to read. Her blend of politics and mysticism is absolutely delicious.” —Judy Grahn

The Adventures of Mona Pinsky is crowded with authentic and singular characters – living and otherwise. I liked Uncle Gabe and the world of mythic spirits that fit so comfortably into Mona’s everyday world. Mona is an especially engaging character who has carved out, with her heroic reluctance and naïve flamboyance, a niche in my memory where she will always abide.” —M.K. Wren

“A sensitive, compelling, and instructive path through the minefield of ageism and anti-Semitism.” —Pam McAllister, Crazy Ladies Bookstore
