Set in New York City in 2002, this social satire dissects the dysfunctional family of renowned leftist lawyer Joel Litvinoff, a life-long radical who suffers a stroke in court while defending a Muslim man accused of terrorist activity. The Believers follows the Litvinoff clan as they spin off from Joel’s irresistible orbit and begin to examine the long-held articles of faith that have formed the basis of their “Heller’s talent lies in the way she illuminates her characters, often with dazzling insight, without making excuses or offering redemption.” —The New Yorker Festival Fiction is sponsored by Francine Zorn Trachtenberg and Stephen Joel Trachtenberg in loving memory of Bruce J. Zorn. Date:
