Allan Appel - The Sacrifice of Isaacson

Selected Works

Poetry

Contrary to what the theologians tell you, #Death is not a homecoming but a condition from which the recovery rate is by all accounts alarmingly low. That's why most humans will definitely find a need for Be Wary of the Elderly – a summa of #poems by award-winning novelist, poet, playwright, and proud seminary drop-out Allan Appel.

Novels

The Hebrew Tutor of Bel Air

"This is an unabashed joyride of a novel, at turns hilarious and bittersweet. It's a wholly original take on adolescence with a wild Jewish Lolita at its warm heart, a creature at once a thing of spirit and the irresistible flesh. Pure exhilaration." -- Steve Stern

Club Revelation

A hilarious irreverent view of contemporary religious manners examining what we mean by faith and marriage in the 21st century.

“Appel shows the hand of a deft theologian, crafting a truly funny, spiritually observant novel of religious identity and experience.”

--John Green, Booklist

High Holiday Sutra

A heartbreaking and hilarious Jewish-Buddhist love story that takes on critical religious issues of our time.
