Described as “equal parts political thriller and tender lamentation,” Nathan Englander’s Dinner at the Center of the Earth unfolds in the highly charged territory of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and pivots on the complex relationship between a secret prisoner and his guard.

Everyone is welcome to attend Temple Israel’s book club meeting, even if you haven’t read the book. Copies of
Dinner at the Center of the Earth are available at the public and Jewish libraries and may be purchased on-line for less than $17. For additional information contact Linda Levy (704-366-6362, levyollie@aol.com.)

“Appealing... Clever, fragmented, pithy... Englander is a wise observer with an empathetic heart.”
