Israeli Book Club -Cancelled

The Israeli book club meets monthly on the third Wednesday of each month to focus on Israeli authors, both fiction and non-fiction. Each month a new book is selected by the group. The facilitator of each meeting rotates to give each participant an opportunity to lead the discussion if they wish. The discussions focus on but are not limited to aspects of the author’s life that may have influenced his or her writing, key literary themes in the works, and how the work may be seen in the larger context of Israeli history and current events.

This month’s book is Homesick by Eshkol Nevo. Moving from character to character, perspective to perspective, Homesick is a complex and moving portrait of parallel lives and failing love in a time of permanent war. Read more about the book here.
