I am a big fan of short stories and Sam Cohen’s short stories are a hooooot! The themes are genuinely human, a little weird, but also quite fun, exploring what it means to be Jewish, femme, and queer. I found myself in Sarahland among its Jewish themes and being called one of the “Sarah’s.” And while my name isn’t Sarah, it might as well be based on how many times people assume that is my name. 😆 
 
But really, we are all Sarah’s attempting to figure out how to live our lives and navigate our way through the weird thing called humanity. So even if you aren’t named Sarah, you will find yourself in Sarahland.
