Storyteller - LYNN SAUL

Sunday, February 27, 2011 - 2:00 pm

This collection of poetry, short stories, memoir, family photographs, and contemporary photographs reflects 200 years of Hungarian Jewish history, from the early 19thcentury until today.  Author Lynn Saul searches for the meaning of her ancestors’ lives and tries to find her own place in what she discovers.  The men are farmers, merchants, gamblers - and one is the billiards champion of Hungary.  The women react to their circumstances and strike out on their own.  Historical events in this book include the short-lived 1848 Hungarian revolution, the 1882 - 83 Tiszaeszlar blood libel trial, the effects of the Trianon treaty after WWI, the Holocaust, and transition of contemporary Hungary out of Communism and into the global era.

Lynn Saul teaches writing and humanities at Pima Community College and leads community and synagogue-based writing workshops.  She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona and has published in numerous literary magazines and anthologies.
