DESCRIPTION:
Let JTC artists set the stage for you with a 'Prologue' staged-reading that invites audiences to meet the author, download the complete idiot's guide to Argentina's 'Dirty War' and discover Argentine Jewry's Dark Secret. Catch adaptors in action and see Englander's text leap from the page to the stage.
In the heart of Argentina's Dirty War, Kaddish Poznan struggles with a son who won't accept him; strives for a wife who forever saves him; and spends his nights protecting the good name of a community that denies his existence.
Buenos Aires, Argentina. (1976)
From its unforgettable opening scene in a forgotten cemetery in Buenos Aires, Nathan Englander's debut novel The Ministry of Special Cases casts a powerful spell. When the nightmare of the disappeared children brings the Poznan family to its knees, they are thrust into the unyielding corridors of the Ministry of Special Cases, a terrifying, byzantine refuge of last resort. Through the devastation of a single family, Englander brilliantly captures the grief of a nation.
