In 1995, Jason Salita discovered his talent for boxing, a means for escaping from the poverty of his Brooklyn childhood.

Book Rap

Book Rap will meet on Monday, May 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the J.C.C. library. We will discuss A.B. Yehoshua's novel, "The Liberated Bride." The three brides at the center of this gentle novel all refuse to do what Yochanan Rivlin, an aging Israeli professor of Near Easter studies, wishes them to do. Samaher, a newly married Palestinian graduate student, won't finish her seminar paper; Galya, soon to be a mother, won't tell Rivlin why she divorced his son; and Rivlin's wife, Hagit, a district judge, won't let him worry himself to death about it all. This book is available at area libraries, bookstores and online. Readers are welcome to attend any or all monthly discussions. Admission for center members is free; for nonmembers, admission is $5 per meeting.
