An understanding the message behind Israeli author Amos Oz’s gripping 1994 novel “Don’t Call it Night” will be attempted by Temple Emanuel’s book club in its monthly meeting on Wednesday evening, June 20, at 8:00 o’clock. GoodReads.com reports, “In this ‘extraordinary novel from a great and true voice of our time’ (Washington Post), a teenage drug overdose throws a closely knit Negev Desert settlement into turmoil - and tests the limits of a precarious love affair.” Translated from the Hebrew by Nicholas de Lange, “Don’t Call it Night” was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
The program is free and open to the public.
