Four Fabulous Fiction Authors 9:30 am - 12:00 pm • Naples Conf. Ctr. Carol Zoref • Barren Island Barren Island begins with the arrival of the Eisenstein family, immigrants from Eastern Europe, and then explores how the political and social upheavals of the 1930s affect them and their neighbors in the years between the stock market crash of October 1929 and the start of World War II ten years later. Labor strife, union riots, the New Deal, the World’s Fair, and the struggle to save European Jews from the growing threat of Nazi terror inform this novel as much as the explosion of civil and social liberties between the two world wars. Barren Island is a novel in which the existence of God is argued with a God that may no longer exist or, perhaps, never did. It is a novel of place and passion. Carol Zoref is an award-winning fiction writer and essayist. She teaches at Sarah Lawrence College and New York University. Moriel Rothman-Zecher • Sadness Is a White Bird In this lyrical and searing debut novel, a young Israeli must reconcile his close relationship with two Palestinian siblings and his deeply ingrained loyalties to family and country. Moving back to Israel at age 18, Jonathan is eager to join the army and defend the Jewish state his grandfather helped establish. But when he meets Nimreen and Laith, his worldview is altered. And then a fateful day arrives that lands him in prison and changes all three lives forever. Sadness Is a White Bird is the story of one man’s attempts to find a place for himself, discovering a beautiful against-the-odds love that flickers like a candle in the darkness of a never-ending conflict. Moriel Rothman-Zecher is an American Israeli writer, poet and novelist. He is the recipient of a 2017 MacDowell Colony Fellowship for Literature. Fiction Day Continues 1:30 - 4:00 pm • Naples Conf. Ctr. Mark Sarvas • Memento Park Elyssa Friedland • The Intermission Told from the alternating perspectives of a husband and wife who both have something to hide, The Intermission tunnels beneath a seemingly happy marriage to ask: How much do we really know about the people we love the most? Cass and Jonathan’s story examines how class and religious differences can become devastating pressure points. As the months pass, the couple begins to see that the worst of their problems are rooted in the personal and cultural history that separates them – and in certain blistering secrets they may never be ready to share. Elyssa Friedland served as managing editor of the Yale Daily News, and is a graduate of Columbia Law School. Her debut novel was Love and Miss Communication. Sponsored by Beth Tikvah Sponsored by Beth Tikvah and Harmon-Meek Gallery After receiving an unexpected call from the Australian consulate, Matt Santos becomes aware of a painting he believes was looted from his family in Hungary during World War II. To recover the painting, he must repair his strained relationship with his judgmental father, uncover his family history, and restore his connection to his own Judaism. Matt’s narrative is as much about family history and father-son dynamics as it is about the nature of art itself, and the infinite ways we come to understand ourselves through it. Of all the questions asked about family, art, history and spirituality – a central, unanswerable predicament lingers: How do we move forward when the past looms unreasonably large? Mark Sarvas is the author of the novel Harry, Revised, which was published in more than a dozen countries. Buy tickets to both events and save $5 MAR 6 WEDNESDAY MAR 6 WEDNESDAY
