Avi Cantor was the first thing that I had published in 2017. That one really sort of taught me that I could do this, like it was like, I can really write a story. It has some elements that will be familiar to anyone who reads Angels, but about two trans boys in high school, and one of them has psychic visions, and the other one is just having a really hard time. And they meet this demon Lilith, who runs a little bakery cafe at the crossroads, and she helps them out with her demonic magic. It does explore some themes that are constant in my work. I think there's this theme of finding connection to other people and finding your place in the world and the question of what is a monster? And is a monster a bad thing to be? Those are questions that I definitely think that piece has in common with the novel. Epistolary was more of a fun little one. But it does have another thing that has been interesting to me, it's a relationship between two Jews who are at different levels of observance. They have different Jewish backgrounds. With Little Ash and Uriel, the angel in the novel, they both have very different approaches to their Jewishness, because an angel is very focused on positive mitzvot and being kind. And it has this idea of itself as a guide to people, but it actually doesn't connect to people very well, it has difficulty with actually interacting with people. And Little Ash is a demon. But he's very passionate about the fact that he's a Jewish demon. And he has approaches that are often like not following the rules, but in a way where he's like, I'm going to break this rule in service of my idea of my own Jewishness. So they have this different levels of observance, or different ways of approaching being Jewish. And I think that's one of the things that's really cool about being Jewish is that there are those different ways of approaching it. And we can, I don't want to say, pick and choose because that sounds a little, I don't know, it sounds a little shallow or something. But the idea that you have the freedom to connect in different ways and to interpret things in different ways depending on what's most meaningful to you, that's really important and powerful to me. And I wanted also to show with the historical setting, that that's always been true. Like we sort of have this idea that history is a little flatter than the present. It's like, oh, everyone in the shtetl was universally quote unquote, Orthodox, which also, the idea of orthodoxy wasn't really invented until there was a Reform for it to be in opposition to. So we have this idea that everyone was like at the same level of observance all the time. But if you think about it, you go back to the prophets, they're saying everyone's doing it wrong. So clearly, even back to the prophets' time, there were people doing Jewishness differently. So I wanted to play with that and be like, everyone has their own way of doing it. And the history is just as complicated as the present.
