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.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family. May you be comforted to know that I care and I pray you will be comforted by your memories of Frank. Sincerely,Comment publication date: 4/30/26, 11:51 AMComment source: Frank Robert Kroll
