The Last Watchman of Old Cairo: A Novel by Michael David Lukas

WINNER OF: THE 2018 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S SOPHIE BRODY AWARD • THE 2018 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD’S JJ GREENBERG MEMORIAL AWARD FOR FICTION • THE 2019 SAMI ROHR PRIZE FOR JEWISH LITERATURE • Named One of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the BBC • Honorable Mention for the Middle East Book Award

Moving and richly textured, The Last Watchman of Old Cairo is a poignant portrait of the intricate relationship between fathers and sons, and an unforgettable testament to the stories we inherit and the places we are from.

Book Club gathers once a month to discuss literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or plays) written by a Jewish author or with a theme of Jewish interest. Meetings are self-moderated and led by different members each month. The group nominates and selects their reading material. Every meeting provides spirited conversation and a chance to learn in a stimulating environment.
