BILL SCHEFT
Author of Everything Hurts
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 7:30 PM JCC KAHN BUILDING, WEST BLOOMFIELD
Novelist, columnist & head monologue writer for 17 years for the Late Show with David Letterman, Bill Scheft made us
laugh with his earlier novel, Time Won’t Let Me, a finalist for the 2006 Thurber Prize for American Humor. His newest work,
Everything Hurts, is the tale of a “self-help fraud”, Phil Camp, who has accidentally achieved international acclaim writing under
the pseudonym Marty Fleck. Camp/Fleck tries to find relief from unexplained chronic pain with the aid of another self-help
guru, Dr. Samuel Abrun who tells him his pain is all psychosomatic. Of the book, author Richard Russo, says “How rare it is
for a novel to be both hilarious & profoundly moving”.

Solomon, a young Ethiopian, is swept up into Operation Moses, the joint effort between American and Israeli troops

He is adopted by a Sephardic family and migrates to Israel, but the culture shock proves devastating.
