Wednesday, October 24 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm
Pulitzer-nominated, bestselling author Nathan Englander presents his much-anticipated new novel Dinner at the Center of the Earth – a political thriller set against the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Englander has crafted a powerful, intensely suspenseful portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, even as the lives of its citizens become fatefully and inextricably entwined. A political thriller of the highest order that interrogates the anguished, violent division between Israelis and Palestinians and dramatizes the immense moral ambiguities haunting both sides.
