My short story “The Women of Tahiti” was accepted for publication in Jewish Fiction (Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 issue). Here’s the log line: In “The Women of Tahiti,” an elderly man, convalescing after heart surgery, fantasizes the healing caresses of tropical beauties while recalling his troubled life as a cripple working for the Kosher Mob.
