SUMMARY:Lore Segal Speaks with the Leo Baeck Institute Book Club
DESCRIPTION:\n\nKindertransport survivor and longtime KTA member\, the bril
 liant and delightful writer Lore Segal is speaking with the Leo Baeck Inst
 itute book club on April 27\, join her virtually.\n\nTo register\, click h
 ere\nFrom the award-winning New Yorker writer comes this essential volum
 e spanning almost six decades. Admired for “a voice unlike any other” 
 (Cynthia Ozick) and a style both “wry and poignant” (The New Yorker)\,
  Lore Segal is a master literary stylist. This volume collects some of her
  finest work—including new and uncollected writing—and selections from
  her novels\, stories\, and essays. From her very first story—which appe
 ared in The New Yorker in 1961—to today\, Segal’s voice has been uni
 que in contemporary American literature: Hilarious and urbane\, heartbreak
 ing and profound\, keen and utterly unsentimental.\nSegal has often used h
 er own biography as both subject and inspiration: At age ten she was sent 
 on the Kindertransport from Vienna to England to escape the Nazi invasion 
 of Austria\; grew up among English foster families\; and eventually made h
 er way to the United States. This experience was the impetus for her first
  novel\, Other People’s Houses\, and one that she has revisited through
 out her career. From that beginning\, Segal’s writing has ranged widely 
 across form as well as subject matter. Her flawless prose and light touch 
 belie the rigor and intelligence she brings to her art.\nTo watch Lore Seg
 al talk about her life and work here\nTo buy the book\, click here\n\n
