SEPTEMBER:
Kavana Book Club is kicking off the 2011-2012 reading season with David Bezmozgis's dryly humorous first novel, THE FREE WORLD. Set in the late 1970s, THE FREE WORLD centers on a family of Latvian Jews stuck in Italy while waiting for transport visas to somewhere - anywhere! - in the West. The author, who debuted his short story collection NATASHA to acclaim a few years ago, was recently named one of the New Yorker's "20 under 40" up-and-coming writers.
