Seducing the Rabbi SALE: $9.95 - Seducing the Rabbi HILARIOUS, FEISTY and INTELLECTUAL FICTION SEDUCING THE RABBI is a novel featuring Aviva Goldberg, a 35-year-old linguistics professor who takes on a challenge from her two best friends to seduce thirty new men in the (ahem) coming year. This should be easy enough—and anyway, Aviva is already mourning the loss of her geeky cycling squeeze, who recently moved to California to bike eight hours a day. But to Aviva’s surprise, she finds that Murphy’s Law is fully operative: when you don’t care, the men line up for your perusal, but when you’re the one out looking… The “candidates” range from Trey, impotent from overdoing the cannabis, to a mime who mimes everything. There’s Jon, nondescript save for a mysterious tattoo on his bald spot, whom Aviva seduces in a steamy orchid greenhouse while he rhapsodizes about…well, bushwhacking…in search of the malodorous green epiphyte Cirrhopetalum vaginatum. There’s the masochist; and the otherwise-attractive guy who, to economize, sleeps on porches all winter, dressed in seven layers of smelly clothing. Aviva’s search culminates—while helicopters thump in the air overhead—at the last possible hour in the apartment of a gorgeous rabbi. Or so she thinks. SEDUCING THE RABBI unfolds in zany Boulder, Colorado, home equally to yuppies, hippies, and truly extreme athletes. Humor, randomness and the irony of everyday coffee-shop life stand out in this unique mountain town. For readers with libido and brains, SEDUCING THE RABBI provides an emotionally rich and satisfying antidote to chick lit. The author, Jala Pfaff, holds an M.A. in Hispanic Linguistics and completed two years of her Ph.D. in Theoretical Linguistics before deciding she’d rather write a novel than a dissertation. She has been published in various literary journals, including Rose & Thorn, The Fairfield Review, Hiss Quarterly, Slow Trains, Word Riot, and Stone Table Review.
