Hot Chicken Wings
Bold, funny and on the edge, Hot Chicken Wings is Jewish and lesbian to the core. Jyl Lynn Felman breaks new ground in eleven highly crafted stories about family secrets, anti-Semitism, and sacred lesbian myths.
With her sharp-eyed sensibility and spare, distinctive prose, the work of Jyl Lynn Felman is always revealing as she traces the forbidden edges of being Jewish, female, lesbian at the end of the twentieth century. ― Adrienne Rich
[She] confronts race and ethnicity with a badly needed authenticity. Her bold, passionate style is well-suited for an uncanny willingness to explore core issues affecting us as people as well as individuals. ― Sabrina Sojourner, Congresswoman, activist, author of Psychic Scars and Other Mad Thoughts
Jyl Lynn Felman is a fearless and original writer, whose fiction breaks new boundaries and forms new links between writer and audience. Hot Chicken Wings attests to the power and sweep of her artistic vision. ― Lev Raphael
