Anita Diamant @ Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies

9780743299848.jpg

Anita Diamant reads at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies this Sunday. Diamant, author of the word-of-mouth book club sensation The Red Tent, will be reading from her latest book, Day After Night. Her newest tells the story of refugees at a British-run internment camp set up in Palestine after WWII. The Washington Post says Day After Night "offers all the satisfactions found in [Diamant's} previous works: Rich portraits of female friendship, unflinching acknowledgment of life's cruelty and resolute assertion of hope, enfolded in a strong story line developed in lucid prose." Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, 610 S. Michigan Ave., $18, $8 for students. Sunday, May 23 at 2pm.
