SUMMARY:Jewish Fantasy & Science Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our exploration of Jewish fantasy and science fiction continues
  with The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick:\n\nIn this Hugo Award
 –winning alternative history classic — the basis for the Amazon stream
 ing series — the United States lost World War II and was subsequently di
 vided between the Germans in the east and the Japanese in the west. It’s
  America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still surv
 ive hide under assumed names. In this world\, we meet characters like Fran
 k Frink\, a dealer of counterfeit Americana who is himself hiding his Jewi
 sh ancestry\; Nobusuke Tagomi\, the Japanese trade minister in San Francis
 co\, unsure of his standing within the bureaucracy and Japan's with German
 y\; and Juliana Frink\, Frank's ex-wife\, who may be more important than s
 he realizes. These seemingly disparate characters gradually realize their 
 connections to each other just as they realize that something is not quite
  right about their world. And it seems as though the answers might lie wit
 h Hawthorne Abendsen\, a mysterious and reclusive author\, whose best-sell
 ing novel describes a world in which the U.S. won the war...\n\nJoin in th
 e conversation at our regular Zoom link — and spread the word to any gue
 sts\; all are warmly invited to join! (And consider watching the Amazon mi
 niseries to compare and contrast with the book.)
