In Jerusalem's Old City a young priest and a dominatrix converse in the dying light; on Oregon's windswept coast a fragile woman discovers a body washed up on the beach after a storm; and in postwar Japan a young protege watches his master's corpse burn, with bitter thoughts blazing in his mind. Jerusalem Ablaze: Stories of Love and Other Obsessions collects 13 eclectic works of dark fiction, taking the reader from Los Angeles to the eastern townships of Quebec, and from Tokyo to Jerusalem. Ortega-Medina's characters are flawed, broken individuals struggling with sexuality, death, obsession, and religion.

Der Autor Ortega ist nach nur wenigen Sätzen tief in der Thematik und ihren Problemen angekommen - und denkt über den im Wesentlichen utopischen Charakter menschlichen Tuns nach. Dem Hörer werden die Augen geöffnet durch Einsichten und Zusammenhänge, die ihm bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht bewusst waren.
