WRJ Book Club

Hi all,

The next meeting of the WRJ Book Club will take place on Wednesday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. on Zoom.

The book under discussion will be BRONSHTEIN IN THE BRONX by Robert Littell.

In this novel Robert Littell brings to life the world-famous revolutionist’s sojourn in the Bronx in this extraordinary meditation on purpose, passion, and the price of progress. A wry, thought-provoking fictional portrayal of ten pivotal weeks in the life of Leon Trotsky, inspired by the Russian revolutionary's exile in New York City in 1917, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Company.

In the weeks leading up to the February Revolution that will eventually see Lenin’s Bolsheviks seize power, Bronshtein (Trotsky) haunts the streets, newspaper offices, and socialist watering holes of New York City, wrestling with the difficult questions of his personal revolutionary ideology, his place in his own family, his relationship to Lenin, and, above all, his conscience.

Hope to see you at the meeting.

Thanks,
Ronni
