The search for self runs straight into random violence and beauty in these fourteen tales of hope, hurt, courage, loss, and redemption. One man runs for his life, while another finds a home in an out-of-the way coffee shop, a woman gains hope from the most unlikely of heroes, and a stand is taken in an uprising of one. Aaron's Intifada breaks through with original characters and situations and a distinctive take on life.

Ken Goldstein's Mind,
By Doris Lane (Jersey Shore, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aaron's Intifada: And Other Short Stories (Paperback)
Ive been a fan of Ken Goldsteins stories for quite a few Internet years, and having them in a book on my shelf is a brighter shade of pleasure. The opening line of the opening story in Aarons Intifada: You need to leave your mind alone. What would the shade of an African-American martyr to the American Revolution be thinking as he rides the Boston subway? Can a man with incessant noise in his head hear the sound of Truth? Intelligent plotting, richly offbeat characterization, elegant pacing, a knowing laugh here and there, are prevailing features of a Ken Goldstein story. Nice for his readers, isnt it? Ken Goldstein cant leave his mind alone.

Challenge, hope, loss, and the path to personal redemption,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aaron's Intifada: And Other Short Stories (Paperback)
Ken Goldstein's debut anthology of short stories, Aaron's Intifada And Other Short Stories offers the reader a diverse collection of memorable characters who must face challenge, hope, loss, and the path to personal redemption. Some are confronted by violence; others find a way to create beauty when pressed upon by despair. Aaron's Intifada And Other Short Stories is strongly recommended as a impressive and engaging anthology that reflects Goldstein's skillfully original storytelling talent.

Wonderful!,
By Geneva T (NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aaron's Intifada: And Other Short Stories (Paperback)
Ken Goldstein is quite a creative story teller, with the ability to take us by surprise in each piece. The variety of subject matter and settings make Aaron's Intifada far from boring! I highly recommend this work, and suggest you check out his other writings, too.
