Daniel's newest book, RUSSIAN SILHOUETTE: A MEMOIR OF ACTIVISM AND IDENTITY, will be published in the fall by Rattling Good Yarns Press. The memoir explores Daniel's numerous travels to the USSR and post-Soviet Russia from the 1970s through the 1990s when he immersed himself in communities of oppressed Soviet Jews and political dissidents. As Daniel offered them support, often at great risk to himself, he drew courage from their insistence on asserting their identities, and came out as a gay man. RUSSIAN SILHOUETTE makes the point that when we pursue the Jewish value of tikkun olam, healing the world, we might also be healing ourselves.
