Dear Friends, I will be presenting on new and award-winning Jewish fiction for the American Jewish University "B'Yachad Together<https://www.aju.edu/byachad-together>" Program on Tuesday, November 17 at 2:00pm PT/4:00pm CT/5:00pm ET.
Recommended Reads: New & Award-Winning Jewish Fiction Learn all about the new and award winning Jewish fiction titles that you should have on your to-read list right now. Synagogue librarian and book club facilitator Rachel Kamin will cover literary fiction and genre fiction, buzz-worthy names in Jewish literature and the lesser gems that you may have missed, the best books for discussion groups, and notable forthcoming titles. Bring your thoughts and opinions about the books you've read recently for a lively audience discussion, too! Some of the books I'm discussing were included in the AJL Fiction Award Committee's presentation at the 2020 Digital Conference this summer but I'll also review newer titles too. I would love to see some familiar faces on my screen (but no pressure since there is a registration cost!) https://www.aju.edu/whizin-center-continuing-education/events/Recommended-Reads-New--Award-Winning-Jewish-Fiction Also note that Nicole Krauss will discuss her new collection of short stories, To Be a Man, on Thursday, November 5 at 12pm PT/2:00pm CT/3:00 pm ET (free of charge). https://www.aju.edu/byachad-together/events/Nicole-Krauss-Discusses-Her-New-Release-To-Be-a-Man I will be leading a discussion of the stories on Monday, November 23 at 2:00pm PT/4:00pm CT/5:00pm ET. https://www.aju.edu/whizin-center-continuing-education/events/Book-Club-at-the-Sperber-To-Be-a-Man-Mon I hope you are staying healthy & safe (and sane!) during this crazy, difficult time and are finding comfort within the pages of a good book!
