Next Year in Gotham

Next Year in Gotham

By: Becky Harvey

Next Year in Gotham tells the story of a woman’s conversion to Judaism while concurrently getting involved in comic books and realizing how much the two communities have in common. More than an observation on similarity, this book started as a conversion journal, and ended up cataloging five years of facing fears, meeting new friends, healing a generations-old family hurt, stepping out of comfort zones, delighting in the convergence of the two worlds she loved, and seeing a dream thru to reality.

She started the process of converting to the Jewish faith at age 30, while also getting into comic books at the same time. She noticed their Venn diagram has a surprising amount of overlap, so she wrote a book about it. This one. This is the book.
