"All in the Telling - a somewhat true story" with Saul Rubinek Night 1

Saul Rubinek's novel All in The Telling - a somewhat true story, weaves together a true story of miraculous survival, a murder mystery, an operatic family drama, and undying romance. When Saul falls in love with a non-Jewish woman, he discovers his immigrant, Holocaust survivor parents are not as "cool with it" as he said they'd be. Their reaction is biblical. Desperate to fix his relationship with his parents, he lies and tells them he's writing a book about their story of love and survival. In chronicling their lives, Saul discovers their extraordinary loyalty and bravery - but also the lies, secrets, and deceptions buried in his family's past.

Rubinek will perform excerpts of his book. The reading includes clips from his documentary film So Many Miracles, in which Saul took his parents back to Poland in 1986 to have a reunion with the Polish farmers that had hidden them for two and a half years during the Holocaust.
