Summer Reading
Hear recommendations from Tony Kushner, Myla Goldberg, Gary Shteyngart, and others
May 04, 2005
After his junior year at Columbia, Tony Kushner brought home all 12 volumes of Anthony Powell‘s A Dance to the Music of Time. “My parents didn’t see me for the first three weeks of my vacation,” he told Nextbook. “You weren’t going to be tested on it. It was just purely for pleasure.”
We asked eleven authors who’ve appeared at Nextbook public programs to recommend a Jewish book to a college student this summer, whether sprawled on the beach, curled up in a café after work, or, like Kushner, locked in the bedroom. Their choices are worth a listen, no matter how long it’s been since you left the classroom.
