The Last Book Party by Karen Dukess It is 1987 and aspiring writer Eve Rosen is languishing in an unexciting assistant job for a New York publisher. She’s not really writing but she talks about it a lot. She also falls under the shadow of her brilliant mathematical brother. She’s sort of stuck. An invitation to a party on Cape Cod with the bohemian literary group instead of the Jewish New Jersey group her family hangs out with sets her on the path for change. She also comes to terms with and develops a better understanding of her family. This is a debut novel and Dukess is a talented writer. I was a bookseller in 1987 so the book and literary references brought that time back to me in a rush. A good summer read. Carol Lloyd is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She has been working and enjoying books for a long time. Support local, independent news – contribute to The Fallon Post, your non-profit (501c3) online news source for all things Fallon.
