Reviews
Mamet's status as a celebrated writer will most certainly be further enhanced by this brief but dazzling Passover tale, composed with a level of tenderness commensurate with the story's potency. Quite simply, it is the story of a grandmother and her young granddaughter at work together in the kitchen preparing a recipe for the seder. The time for the feast draws near, and the child is captivated by her grandmother's story of how family members once survived a pogrom. Mamet adds a chilling note to the narrative's conclusion, compelling readers to acknowledge the continuing threat of anti-Semitism today. Illustrated with lyrical woodcuts by Michael McCurdy, Mamet's drama will touch the hearts and minds of all who read it. Alice Joyce
