Starting Lineup

Join Julia Gardiner of the Clifton Branch
of The Public Library of Cincinnati and
Hamilton County for a light lunch and
discussion of Steve Kluger’s Last Days
of Summer. Set in 1940s Brooklyn, the
novel chronicles the relationship between
a fictional New York Giants player and a
Jewish 12-year-old boy. This improbable
friendship is woven together through
letters, postcards, notes, telegrams,
newspaper clippings, report cards and
ticket stubs. The author will join us
telephonically for part of the discussion.
