Book Discussion: What We Talk about When We Talk About Anne Frank

Gail Sherman, Professor of English and Humanities at Reed College, leads a discussion about Nathan Englander’s powerful short story, What We Talk About when We Talk About Anne Frank.

In the story two couples argue about who would hide whom in the event of another Holocaust. The story alludes to Raymond Carver’s short story, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, but with a very different worldview.

Attendees are encouraged to read the story in advance and participate in a lively conversation.
