Peck's Book/Plate Featuring Jim Shepard, Author of The Book of Aron

Book/Plate is a literary/culinary series in partnership with Greenlight Bookstore, which pairs new books with complementary cuisine for a unique dinner with the author.

From the hugely acclaimed National Book Award finalist Jim Shepard comes a novel that will join the shortlist of classics about the Holocaust and the children caught up in it. Peck's, which is steeped in Kosher deli traditions, offers a meal celebrating the foods of the Eastern European Jewish Diaspora in all its resilience and tenacity. Shepard talks about his new book and his work as one of the nation's most respected writing teachers and short story writers, his inimitable wit and compassion making him the best of dinner companions even when confronting the worst of humanity.
