Join in the discussion!
For the third summer in a row, Beth David readers will enjoy sharing a summer read. In August, Rabbi Havivi will lead us in a discussion of the book over a delicious Kiddush luncheon.
This year's selection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, is a collection of short stories by one of America's outstanding young Jewish authors, Nathan Englander, author of The Relief of Unbearable Urges and translator of The New American Haggadah.
"Nathan Englander writes the stories I am always hoping for, searching for.
These are stories that transport you into other lives, other dreams.
This is deft, engrossing, deeply satisfying work. Englander is, to me,
the modern master of the form. And this collection is the very best of the best."
-Geraldine Brooks
"The depth of Englander's feeling is the thing that separates him
from just about everyone. You can hear his heart thumping feverishly on every page."
-Dave Eggers
"Englander's new collection of stories tells the tangled truth of life in prose
that, as ever, surprises the reader with its gnarled beauty . . .
Certifiable masterpieces of contemporary short-story art."
-Michael Chabon
