The Linotype Operator

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Set in present day Brooklyn and Manhattan—with historic monuments and institutions as background characters — The Linotype Operator is the story of Orthodox Jewish former Linotype operator David Kaplan and his two daughters. Dutiful and religiously observant Naomi is forty-eight, single, and lives with her father in Brooklyn. Her “prettier” younger sister Lisa is married, has two young children, and lives in the suburban community of Englewood, New Jersey.After meeting a handsome non-Jewish man at the Macy’s housewares department where she works, Naomi’s periodic daydreams begin to get the best of her—setting in motion a collision of worlds that can scarcely be contained in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. Sprinkled with wry humor, and including a cast of unusual supporting characters, The Linotype Operator gives the reader a deeply poignant look into parallel New York worlds and lives.
