"Will I ever adjust to this place?" VPR commentator Deborah Lee Luskin offers engaging answers in her first novel, Into the Wilderness. In 1964, widow Rose Mayer visits Vermont, where there are neither sidewalks, Democrats, nor other Jews. There is, however, Percy Mendell. Filmmaker Jay Craven: "An absorbing, ... (more)affectionate, and often funny slice of early 1960's Vermont life." Novelist Philiph Baruth: "Rose Mayer is an honest-to-God miracle." Draw your own conclusions at this event.
