Ann S. Epstein will read from her novel, Tazia and Gemma, at the Ann Arbor Jewish Community Center on December 4 at 7:00 PM. The reading will include a short documentary on the 1911 Triangle Waist Company fire, which opens the book.
Her short story, “Orphan Camp” will be published by Summerset Review online on December 15, 2018. “Orphan Camp” examines how the resilience that allowed Jewish children to survive during WWII made them resistant to adoption afterwards. Although set seventy years ago, the story speaks to today’s many war orphans. Also, her story, “It Ends With Cake,” about the death café phenomenon, was accepted for publication in the Winter 2019 issue of CULTURECULT MAGAZINE.
