Tell Me How This Ends Well

David Samuel Levinson

In 2022 American Jews face an increasingly unsafe and anti-Semitic landscape at home. Against this backdrop the Jacobson family gathers for Passover in Los Angeles. But their immediate problems are more personal than political with the three adult children Mo Edith and Jacob in various states of crisis; the result each claims of a lifetime of mistreatment by their father Julian.

The siblings have begun to suspect that Julian is hastening their mother Roz's demise and years of resentment boil over as they debate whether to go through with the real reason for their reunion: an ill-considered plot to end their father's iron rule forever. That is if they can put their bickering grudges festering relationships and distrust of one another aside long enough to act. And God help them if their mother finds out . . .

Tell Me How This Ends Well presents a blistering vision of near-future America turning the exploits of one very funny very troubled family into a rare and compelling exploration of the state of America itself.
