What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank: Storiesby Nathan Englander. “In eight short stories, Englander grapples with the weight of the past, the relationship between history and the present, and the place of the Holocaust in modern life. Englander's characters wrestle with issues of faith, justice, desire and love, and his stories explore classic themes of sexual longing and ingenuity in the face of adversity.” (Barnard Book Club)
