Gil Z. Hochberg with Mikhal Dekel

Morningside Heights

Gil Z. Hochberg reads from her raw memoir about her father, a statistician turned Zionist zealot who came to believe he was the Messiah. Joined in conversation by Mikhal Dekel, this is a tender, unsettling portrait of mental illness, queer identity, and family love stretched to its limits.
