Description
In conversation with Eli Horowitz, McSweeney's
Join the JCCSF for an evening with Latvian-born author David Bezmozgis. Named one of the “Top 20 Under 40” by The New Yorker, Bezmozgis will read from his debut novel The Free World, the unofficial prequel to his collection, Natasha and Other Stories. Set in the late 70s, during the Cold War, The Free World follows a Russian-Jewish family en route from their homeland in Latvia to Rome where along with thousands of other Russian Jews they are held over for months awaiting for clearance to emigrate to North America.
