The Twilight of the Golds

The Twilight of the Golds asks the question “if you knew your child was going to be born gay, what would you do?” The Golds, a middle-class Jewish family, must consider moral and ethical issues when Suzanne Gold-Stein finds she is pregnant and her husband Rob, a genetic researcher, employs his latest research coup to reveal the genetic makeup of their child. The text reveals that the baby will be “like David,” Suzanne’s gay brother. The news forces the entire Gold family to confront issues of bigotry, evolution, and the limits of love.
