He is lofty and unkempt, he is ageing and his congregation is ever diminishing. But to one man, he is the object of obsession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur narrator adores the rabbi and worships the universe between his legs. But so too does he bristle at being relegated to the peripheries of the rabbi's life. When they're apart, he manically contemplates every element of the rabbi's being: his absent husband; his first (and only) wife and child, both now deceased; his unstable, yet alluring, adopted son. Until, in a bid to help sustain their relationship, our narrator embarks on an increasingly urgent quest to better understand his mercurial lover - one which threatens to upturn the lives of both men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLavish and lascivious, My Lover, the Rabbi is an exuberant exploration of devotion and desire, as well as a careening Catherine wheel of a novel about queer family-making, one which is attuned to the mysterious constellations and patterns that shape our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koestenbaum, Wayne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56548452794754,"sku":"9781803514000","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781803514000.jpg?v=1775908952","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/9781803514000","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
