Nathan Englander discusses his new collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank: Stories with Colum McCann
Brooklyn-based author Nathan Englander will appear at Greenlight to discuss his new collection of stories, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank with friend and fellow novelist Colum McCann, author of the National Book Award-winning Let the Great World Spin.
These eight new stories address the questions of modern life, written with a command of language and imagination. The title story, inspired by Raymond Carver’s masterpiece, is a portrait of two marriages in which the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game.
In the outlandishly dark “Camp Sundown” vigilante justice is undertaken by a group of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave. “Free Fruit for Young Widows” is a small, sharp study in evil, lovingly told by a father to a son.
