4. J-Link Book Club: "The Ministry of Special Cases" by Nathan Englander
Thursday, Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m.
Panera's, 4519 N. High St., Clintonville
In the heart of Argentina's "Dirty War," Kaddish Poznan struggles with a son who won't accept him, strives for a wife who forever saves him, and spends his nights protecting the good name of a community that denies his existence - and denies a checkered history that only Kaddish holds dear. When the nightmare of children disappearing brings the Poznan family to its knees, they are thrust into the unyielding corridors of the Ministry of Special Cases, the refuge of last resort. Please RSVP to Lindsay Folkerth, Outreach Director at (614) 559-6228 or at lfolkerth@columbusjcc.org so that enough seats may be reserved.
