"In a narrative that refuses the confinement of a single identity narrator, My Father the Messiah is a genre-bending book. Hochberg's emotional and intellectual journey to contend with the legacy of her complex, mentally ill father and her identity as queer and Jewish--is heavy and at times dark, but her writing is concise, emotionally steady and often funny. It is a smart, tragic, hopeful, strange book, and I was totally immersed in it from start to finish."--Mikhal Dekel, author of, Tehran Children: A Holocaust Refugee Odyssey
