It gives us great pleasure to present Season 10, Episode 51: Gordon Blitz!
Gordon Blitz returns to share his novel Converso Jews: A Hidden Family Story. We discuss his recent plays and monologues, as well as the book’s dual story line and how it explores families in the past hiding their Judaism from the Catholics in control and how it has affected a modern family who doesn’t know where some of their rituals came from as they learn to embrace an interfaith, gay love relationship.

Bio:
From a young child, Gordon was called a sissy, girlie, fag, queer, and homo. Getting towel whipped, stomach punched and spit on were part of his world. Being bullied like this made him go into a nice, staid, and stable career in accounting. Gordon didn’t find his writer’s voice until 2017 when he retired from forty years of debits and credits. Since then he’s become a passionate writing machine. Gordon has published work in Whoa Nelly Press, Wingless Dreamer, Two Hawks Quarterly, the Santa Monica College Journals Chronicles and On Going Moments, and Gay Wicked Ways.
