Using the imagistic language of music, this story speaks to the conflict between love and career, commitment and personal choice. Drawn to Ari, charismatic Master Teacher and renowned concert pianist, Rachel confronts her feelings for him, and her own ambitions.

A rondo-like prose poem, in which narrator Leon laments the death of his wife of fifty years. In the face of death, Shirley, husband Leon, and friend Rhonda, talk of Rhonda’s plans to serve brisket ordered in from the deli at an upcoming dinner party. Such talk of the ordinary heightens our sense of the inevitable as well as foreverness.

A satirical glimpse of modern society. The setting is a dinner party for eight in the country at the height of a Gothic summer storm. The energy and humour of the story is in its fast paced, stichomythic (cut and thrust) dialogue, and its minimalist texture.

This story placed as a finalist in The Writers’ Union of Canada Short Prose Competition, 1994.

“Moon Over Mandalay is set in the university town of Bloomington, Indiana, and
its surroundings during the turbulent, permissive years of the late 1960s and
1970s. Despite the passing of almost half a century, many of its central themes
resonate in the present: the never-ending battle of the sexes, the battle
between “town and gown,” tradition versus innovation, career over romance, and
the constant search for self-fulfillment … Rabinowitz-Green knows her subject well as she, herself, received a Master of Music degree from Indiana University,
Bloomington. After some years of performing and teaching, she gave it all up to
immigrate to Canada . . . Her personal experiences add to the vibrancy and
veracity of this, her second novel. She illuminates the difficulties men and
women encounter in matching their goals to their personal needs. The author’s
wonderful sense of humor makes even the serious themes great fun to read.”
