The Secret That Is Not a Secret: Ten Heretical Tales

By Jay Michaelson

A provocative collection of interconnected tales, bridging the worlds of mysticism and heresy, faith and desire--from the award-winning author of Everything is God and The Heresy of Jacob Frank.

The Secret That Is Not a Secret: Ten Heretical Tales invites you into a hidden world of faith, desire, transgression, and revelation. The inhabitants of its interlocking stories are pious and rebellious, mystical and queer, from a Hasidic woman tormented by her husband's long beard to a closeted gay man repenting of his sins in the mikva. The first book of fiction by Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson, winner of the National Jewish Book Award, The Secret That Is Not a Secret is a remarkable work of mystical fiction.
