The muchanticipated new book from the acclaimed author of Other People s Houses and Her First AmericanLore Segal s first major work of fiction in twenty years. Lore Segal is...one of those rare people who combine art, eccentricity, honesty, and wisdom and who, by a change of tone, an altered inflection, produce such enchanting effects that the [reader] is swept along. Chicago TribuneThe thirteen interrelated stories of Shakespeare s Kitchen concern the universal longing for friendship, how we achieve new intimacies for ourselves, and how slowly, inexplicably, we lose them. Featuring six neverbeforepublished pieces, Lore Segal s stunning new book evolved from seven short stories that originally appeared in The New Yorker (including the O. Henry Prizewinning The Reverse Bug ).Ilka Weisz has accepted a teaching position at the Concordance Institute, a think tank in Connecticut, reluctantly leaving her New York circle of friends. After the comedy of her struggle to meet new people, Ilka comes to embrace, and be embraced by, a new set of acquaintances, including the institute s director, Leslie Shakespeare, and his wife, Eliza. Through a series of memorable dinner parties, picnics, and Sunday brunches, Segal evokes the subtle drama and humor of the outsider s loneliness, the comfort and charm of familiar companionship, the bliss of being in love, and the strangeness of our behavior in the face of other people s deaths.A magnificent and deeply moving work, Shakespeare s Kitchen marks the longawaited return of a writer at the height of her powers.
