Philip Roth just won the
2011 Man Booker International Prize, and our book club will be having a timely discussion of his latest novel, Nemesis, on Thursday, June 16, at 7:30 p.m.
Nemesis tells the World War II-era story of Bucky, a young man who cannot fight alongside his peers because of his poor eyesight. When a crippling polio epidemic hits his New Jersey town, he wages a private war against the disease that takes on overtones of his country's struggle.
