"Lerman equals [Roth] in his own good game―the Jewish absurd." ―The New York Times A “bouncy, tongue-in-cheek” (Kirkus) satire on gender politics, Call Me Ishtar is the outrageous manifesto of a Goddess determined to right the wrongs of the 3000 year-old patriarchy. She is Ishtar: Mother Goddess, Queen of Heaven, Angel of Death, and Whore of Babylon, and, returning to earth in this most recent incarnation, suburban housewife and sexual subversive. Gallivanting through upstate New York, Ishtar breaks into a Hostess factory to taint its products, catapults a rock band to stardom via satanic rituals, and rises from the coffin at her own funeral.

Ancient Civilizations

The authors paint a vivid and surprising portrait of the royal couple, set against a dangerous and turbulent period of British history, marked by wars, strikes, and riots, as well as glittering and ceremonious court occasions. The world envies the Queen, who pays no income tax, cannot be arrested, needs no driver's license, and is worth at least $18.5 billion. Yet her life has been threatened by terrorists, she has had to shelter a Soviet spy in her Palace, and she had had many conflicts with her husband, who has been frustrated by living in her shadow.

Leaders & Notable People

Two women, Chloe Dale, an artist comfortably ensconced in bucolic suburbia, and Salome Drago, a wily, seductive refugee from a country that no longer exists, confront each other in a Manhattan restaurant, and the battle lines are drawn. Toby Dale, son of the artist and ardent suitor of the refugee, is in no position to choose sides. Outside, the drumbeats for the impending invasion of Iraq drown out all argument, and those who object will soon be reduced to standing in the street. The story of two families—suspicious, territorial, naïve in their confidence that they are free of the past—Trespass unfolds with commanding force. It is a bracing, tender novel for the 21st century.
