The Week Ahead

Lunch and books

Meet with friends at the East Meadow Public Library on July 23 at 1 p.m. to discuss Philip Roth’s novel The Plot Against America, moderated by Marion Wrenn. Philip Roth’s novel begins in 1940, with the election of Lindbergh, who blamed the Jews for pushing America toward war with Nazi Germany. Lindbergh’s admiration of Hitler and his openly anti-Semitic speeches cause increasing turmoil in the Roth household, and in nine-year-old Philip, as political events abroad overtake their lives. History will not let go, and as America is whipped into a deadly frenzy by demagogues, the Roth’s begin to expect the worst. The novel explores the convulsive collision of history and family.

The fundraiser also donates to community scholarships, the Alzheimer’s Foundation and the Easterseals veteran support foundation. Dinner at Borelli’s in East Meadow will follow the tournament at 6 p.m.
