AUTHOR TALKS AND FILMS WITH JEWISH THEMES IN THE BOSTON AREA

Author and Writers reading from their new books.

Wayne Hoffman will be reading from his novel,  Sweet like sugar,  on Wednesday evening, September 21, 7:00 pm,  at the Harvard Coop, Cambridge, MA, sponsored by Keshet.

From the author:

Sweet Like Sugar follows an unexpected friendship between a young gay Jewish man and an elderly Orthodox rabbi. It's about fate, faith, and how alienated Jews can reconnect with their identity. Serious stuff. But along the way, it's also about Kurt Cobain, class stratification in the DC suburbs, Space Mountain, the Book of Esther, the war in Iraq, Israeli dance, Jewish summer camp, Barack Obama, Miami's bar scene, the Holocaust, interfaith relationships, immigrant communities in Jersey City, Will & Grace, crystal meth, kashrut, Sammy Davis Jr., and much more.

Schedule of appearances, September - December

Films

Sarah's Key opened last Friday, and is playing at the Kendall Square Theatre.
