Shmutz: The Line Between Tradition and Transgression
Thursday at 12:00pm PDT
Join author Felicia Berliner as she discusses her debut book, Shmutz. Like the other women in her Brooklyn Hasidic community, Raizl expects to find a husband through an arranged marriage. Unlike the other women, Raizl has a secret. With a hidden computer to help her complete her college degree, she falls down the slippery slope of online pornography. As Raizl dives deeper into the world of porn at night, her daytime life begins to unravel. Between combative visits with her shrink to complicated arranged dates, Raizl must balance her growing understanding of her sexuality with the more conventional expectations of the family she loves. Join first time author Felicia Berliner as she discusses the intersection of Judaism and pornography, and what led Berliner to penning this debut novel.
