Book Review — The Last Book Party
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.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
