Abstract

Arlene Schindler often says, "I come from a long line of miserable people." This is her shorthand for growing up in what she calls "an iconoclastic, dramatic Brooklyn Jewish family." She writes and speaks frequently about issues of Jewish identity, East coast angst and feelings of invisibility at mid-life. Using humor and affection, she's tackled topics like dating, marriage to a sex addict, divorce (not a surprise), as well as diet, weight and emotional eating.
