Echoes - The Ministry of Special Cases
DESCRIPTION:
An evening conceived by JTC artists in collaboration with Los Porteños - Portland's Latino Writing Group. Featuring Songs, Poetry and Readings
In the heart of Argentina's Dirty War, Kaddish Poznan struggles with a son who won't accept him; strives for a wife who forever saves him; and spends his nights protecting the good name of a community that denies his existence.
Buenos Aires, Argentina. (1976)
From its unforgettable opening scene in a forgotten cemetery in Buenos Aires, Nathan Englander's debut novel The Ministry of Special Cases casts a powerful spell. When the nightmare of the disappeared children brings the Poznan family to its knees, they are thrust into the unyielding corridors of the Ministry of Special Cases, a terrifying, byzantine refuge of last resort. Through the devastation of a single family, Englander brilliantly captures the grief of a nation.
