1Q1A Nathan Englander kaddish.com
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Nathan Englander, Author of kaddish.com, published by Knopf, tomorrow the 26th. And also Nathan will be speaking and reading from kaddish.com at the free library on Wednesday, March 27 at 7:30 PM. You can visit the free library website to purchase tickets.
Nathan is the author of Dinner At The Center Of The Earth, the collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, the best-selling story collection For The Relief Of Unbearable Urges and the novel The Ministry Of Special Cases.
He is the recipient of the Frank O’Conner International Short Story Award and a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize.

He is the writer in resident at NYU.
kaddish.com is the story of a complicated man, a tortured man, a man whose love is transcendent as is his guilt and shame. Because he neglected his duties as a son after the death of his father, he has failed as a good Jew, even though he attempted to rectify his lack of fortitude and gratitude by participating in a scheme that goes wrong, goes awfully wrong and he spends a great deal of his time as a converted man in trying to make good the promise that he had willfully broken years before. Whether he succeeds or not is for you to find out. Or maybe Nathan will tell you at the library.
