new work explores the hor-
rors of the Holocaust. "As a
Jew, I am trying to under-
stand what happened there in
ordinary terms," she says,
"what happened to this one-
time civilized land of Ger-
many."
While she stresses Shining
Through is not a Holocaust
novel, it is a paean to the pain
that victims had to endure. "I
asked why and how such
things happened and why
they didn't happen here. I
wanted to look at these
issues," she says. "It boils
down to, 'How safe do I feel
here as an American?' "
She is a safe bet, this Susan
Isaacs, a safe bet that her
novel will climb the best-
seller lists, find fame as a film
and then make way for
another project. She has
made discoveries along the
way.
"My characters are reflec-
tions of the world I know, and
I grew up in the world of New
York ethnics, in a Jewish
neighborhood where gentiles
were very exotic creatures,"
says the author. But Isaacs
has grown more worldly over
the years.
Yet, when worlds collide,
she can always find the com-
fort in the confines of home.
"There's nothing glamorous
about what I do," she says
simply.
Everything's just . . . or-
