Running Fiercely Toward a High Thin Sound

Nadine Pagan's dyke sister Jane wants to find her. Her lover Rose wants to marry her. And her mother Fay wants to forget her. All Nadine wants is to stop the buzzing in her head.Running Fiercely Toward a High Thin Sound follows Nadine's (ne Morningstar) adventures as she escapes from her incendiary Jewish family into the lesbian town of New Chelmand far beyond. This is the novel Isaac Bashevis Singer might have written if he'd been a lesbian with a keen eye for contemporary middle-class assimilation. It's Jewish magical lesbian realism, a good story, and a dynamic piece of writing.
