Summary

Fiercely funny and entirely original, this debut collection of stories takes readers from the United States to Israel-and back-to examine the mystifying reaches of our own minds and hearts. The characters of The Worlds We Think We Know are swept up by forces beyond their control: war, adulthood, family-and their own emotions, as powerful as the sandstorm that gusts through these stories. In Ohio, a college student cruelly enlists the help of the boy who loves her to attract the attention of her own crush. In Israel, a young American woman visits an uncommunicative Holocaust survivor and falls in love with a soldier. And from an unnamed Eastern European country, a woman haunts the husband who left her behind for a new life in New York City. The Worlds We Think We Know is a dazzling debut-clear-eyed, hilarious, and heartbreaking
