Beschreibung

My Father, the Messiah traces a father-daughter relationship as it transforms across decades--from intense closeness in childhood to a fraught distance as Hochberg's father Yossi becomes increasingly convinced that he is the Messiah. Gil Hochberg reflects on her evolving relationship with her father through personal letters and writing, offering a poignant account of queer identity, familial love, and Israel's shifting sociopolitical landscape.
