"Daniel Ortega and Those Yom Kippur Blues"
by Bruce J. Bloom
Arthur Kleinman is looking for his lost faith in a Latino saloon, where he finds it’s easier to sin than he ever expected. Luis Valencia is his guide, but where to, heaven or hell?
"The Last Request of Eddie Carmichael/Cohen"
by Bruce J. Bloom
On his deathbed Eddie Carmichael announces he’s Jewish, not Catholic, and that his real name is Cohen. As his dying wish he asks a Rabbi to marry him and Esther Goldman, a Jewish woman he met in the nursing home. Sister Veronica keeps insisting that Eddie is Catholic and delusional. Is he telling the truth? Is he lying? Or is he just plain crazy?
