Info:
The Betrayers is Jewish LearningWorks' One Bay One Book selection for 2014-15 and the winner of the 2014 National Jewish Book Award for fiction.
The novel spans one momentous day in the life of Baruch Kotler, a former Soviet refusenik who has built a new life in Israel as a powerful politician. Fleeing scandal with his young mistress to the Crimea, he unexpectedly comes face to face with the former friend who denounced him to the KGB almost forty years earlier. The Betrayers raises profound questions about the nature of fate and consequence, love and forgiveness.
Latvian-born writer and filmmaker David Bezmozgis has explored themes of exile and aspiration through his award-winning collection Natasha and Other Stories and the heartfelt multigenerational saga The Free World.
This is the closing event of Jewish LearningWorks' One Bay One Book, a yearlong conversation connecting Bay Area readers through shared discussions and events centering on a single book.
