Summary:"In Kissing a Tree Surgeon, worlds traverse the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in New Jersey; Southern women get kidnapped by North Koreans; a Dutch girl solicits money on OKCupid; a young woman meets Golda Meir on an Upper East Side bus in New York City, and other deliriously satirical moments occur. Here are more highlights: a character believes he's the biological son of Frank Sinatra; Zionist-Hasidic lesbians protest anti-Semitism at a women's Catholic college; a stalking moviegoer takes her dead grandmother to a Bertolucci film; a daughter meets her father's mistress at his grave; an employee is banned from calling her boss in the office; an adult woman visits the radio store in Lakewood, New Jersey, of the boy who didn't invite her to his bar mitzvah."--
