What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank is Nathan Englander鈥檚 adaptation of his award-winning short story about two women, inseparable in high school, whose adult lives have taken them to opposite ends of the earth, and to wildly different experiences of culture, religion, and family. When they reunite, their bond is tested by the distance that has grown between them鈥� and also by their husbands, who don鈥檛 exactly see eye to eye. Englander鈥檚 distinctive voice鈥攈ilarious, outrageous, and emotional鈥攇ives us a uniquely funny and smart exploration of how we see ourselves and how our friends see us.
