Description
A regular contributor to the New Yorker, Nathan Englander won the PEN/Malamud award for his first collection, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, an international bestseller. Of his first novel, The Ministry of Special Cases, the New York Times wrote, “one reads this novel in awe of Englander's talent.” His play, The Twenty-Seventh Man, based on a story from his first book, will premiere at New York’s The Public Theater this year. He joins us to discuss his new book, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, eight short stories that grapple with the great questions of modern life. The title story, inspired by Raymond Carver’s masterpiece, is a provocative portrait of two marriages in which the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game.More Info
