Great House: A Novel by
Nicole Krauss
Tuesday, November 15, 7:30 PM
AT Temple Israel
For twenty-five
years a reclusive
American novelist
has been writing at
the desk she inher
ited from a young
Chilean poet who
disappeared at the
hands of Pinochet’s
secret police. One
day a girl claiming
to be the poet’s
daughters arrives to
take it away, send
ing the writer’s life
reeling.
The massive wooden desk pro
vides the anchor to Krauss’s mas
terful novel. Consisting of four
stories divided among eight chap
ters and crossing decades and con
tinents, the novel’s characters, all
tied to this mysterious desk,
include the mysteriously vanished
Chilean poet, an old man in Israel,
an esteemed antiques dealer track
ing down the things stolen from
his father by the Nazis, and an
American woman studying in
Oxford.
The highly praised Great
House: A Novel, by Nicole
Krauss, should lead to a stimulat
ing and informative discussion at
Temple Israel’s November 15
Book Club meeting.
Copies of Great House are
available at the public
library, the Levine-
Sklut Jewish Library,
at book stores and on
line for under $15.
Modem readers can
also get a copy through
Kindle.
The November 15
discussion is open to
all members of the
community, including
“drop-ins” and those
who haven’t read the
book. For additional
information contact Linda Levy
at 704-366-6362 or levyollie@
