According to the publisher's remarks accompanying this work, "Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me (is) the final graphic memoir" from Pekar. Structured as a sort of variant of the Socratic dialogue, this work presents Pekar and Waldman spending a day in Pekar's hometown (Cleveland, OH, for the uninitiated among you) hashing out the "mythologies and realities surrounding the Jewish homeland," during which "Pekar interweaves his increasing disillusionment with the modern state of Israel with a comprehensive history of the Jewish people from the biblical times to the present." Harvey has always been someone who speaks his mind and what he has had to say has been worth listening to; it should be no different this time around. Concludes with an epilogue by Joyce Brabner
