MEET THE AUTHOR: DANIEL FRIEDMAN
The King of Chicago
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2017 AT TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL
9:00 am BREAKFAST ($5), 10:00 am PROGRAM
The King of Chicago is the story of a father-son relationship as real
and hugely loving as that in Philip Roth’s Patrimony. At its heart
is a young son who tries furiously to heal his father from a violent
childhood inside a Chicago orphanage. The orphanage, the Marks
Nathan Home, still stands today on the West Side of Chicago.
Using original articles from the orphanage newspaper, Friedman attempts to reconstruct and
understand his father’s childhood, a time that his father never discussed.
