Description

About the Book

The author of "The Book Borrower" brings together 13 connected tales that trace a family of women across generations.

From the Back Cover

Spanning the length and breadth of the twentieth century, Alice Mattison's masterful In Case We're Separated looks at a family of Jewish immigrants in the 1920s and 1930s and follows the urban, emotionally turbulent lives of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren against a backdrop of political assassination, the Vietnam War, and the AIDS epidemic. Beginning with the title story, which introduces Bobbie Kaplowitz--a single mother in 1954 Brooklyn whose lover is married and whose understanding of life is changed by a broken kitchen appliance--Mattison displays her unparalleled gift for storytelling and for creating rich, multidimensional characters, a gift that has led the Los Angeles Times to praise her as "a writer's writer."

"Radiant... [In Case We're Seperated] is a book filled with felicitous writing and ferocious insight." -- New York Times Book Review

"You'll want to read it a second time." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
