Our second title is The Puttermesser Papers, by Cynthia Ozick. Library Journal writes, "Veteran novelist and essayist Ozick continues to impress with this
episodic, highly imaginative, humorous exploration of the disappointed
life of brilliant Jewish lawyer and scholar, Ruth Puttermesser... A master stylist with a powerful command of the English language, Ozick
has created a revealing portrait of a complex woman, as well as a dark
satire of government bureaucracy." Susan finds this book incredibly mysterious and moving. Unforgettable.
Bookclub, bagels and coffee (or tea) cost: $9. 20% off the book for all book club members. Please sign up in advance!
