, Diamant, Anita, 1951-. Pitching my tent. On marriage, motherhood, friendship, and other leaps of faith. New York : Scribner, 2003, xiii, 223pp., very good dust-jacket, light wear, very good white half-cloth with cream colored boards. SIGNED simply Anita Diamant on title page. Collection of revised columns by Diamant from the time before her success as a novelist. Many deal with Jewish themes: holidays, the Yom HaShoah observance (she is the daughter of survivors), the Rabbi, learning in Judaism, the difficulties of Hebrew, "liberal piety". - "The culinary history of the Jews can be read as a story of triumphant assimilation. The ongoing metabolization of customs, languages, fashions, fruits, nuts, and spices around the world did not give us a single, unified Jewish culture. Instead, it kept us busy creating new recipes and menus for celebrations as old as Passover, as new as the Fourth of July" (137). 9780743246163 ISBN 0743246160.
