Newtonville Books, Tuesday, June 4 (7pm) With pitch-perfect prose, huge compassion, and sly humor, Jami Attenberg has given us an epic story of marriage, family, and obsession. The Middlesteins explores the hopes and heartbreaks of new and old love, the yearnings of Midwestern America, and our devastating, fascinating preoccupation with food. Meet author Jami Attenberg at Newtonville Books. Jonathan Franzen (Freedom) says: “The Middlesteins had me from its very first pages, but it wasn’t until its final pages that I fully appreciated the range of Attenberg’s sympathy and the artistry of her storytelling.” Co-sponsored by the Ryna Greenbaum JCC Boston Jewish Book Fair.
