Nevo is presided over by Emmanual Sternholz, the waiter whose unblinking gaze takes in the tangled web of destinies and desires spun out around him. In this comic, tragic, and compelling mosaic of intertwined lives, Barbara Rogan has created a dazzling work of fiction--and a marvelously illuminating mirror of Israel in its pioneering heyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbara Rogan has spent virtually all of her career in the publishing industry: as an editor, a literary agent, a writer, and a teacher. She graduated from St. John's College with a liberal arts degree and started working as a copyeditor with a major New York publishing house. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Israel, where she became the English-language editor of a Tel Aviv publishing house, and a while later she launched the Barbara Rogan Literary Agency to represent American and European publishers and agents for the sale of Hebrew rights. Among the thousands of writers she represented were Nadine Gordimer, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Abba Eban, Irwin Shaw, John le Carré, and her childhood favorite, Madeleine L'Engle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the age of twenty-six, she was appointed to the board of directors of the Jerusalem Book Fair, the youngest director ever to serve on the board. During this period, her first novel, \u003ci\u003eChanging States\u003c\/i\u003e, was published simultaneously in England, the United States, and Israel. For some time, she continued to write and run the agency, but eventually followed her passion to become a full-time writer. Since then, she has produced seven more novels, including \u003ci\u003eHindsight\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSuspicion\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRowing in Eden\u003c\/i\u003e. Her fiction has been translated widely and graciously reviewed. About \u003ci\u003eSuspicion\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e wrote, \"If you can put this book down before you've finished it, it's possible that your heart may have stopped beating.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"What \u003ci\u003eBonfire of the Vanities\u003c\/i\u003e tried to be,\" \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e wrote of \u003ci\u003eSaving Grace\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eCafé Nevo\u003c\/i\u003e was called \"unforgettable\" by the \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e and \"an inspired, passionate work of fiction, a near-magical novel\" by \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e. Rogan also coauthored two nonfiction books and contributed essays to several published anthologies.

Her online courses and editing services are described on her teaching website, www.nextlevelworkshop.com. As a professional whose experience spans all aspects of publishing, Rogan is a frequent presenter at writers' conferences, seminars, and retreats.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 254\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47265847902457,"sku":"9781497637092","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/K3nj84myVS9781497637092_8997b531-598e-4ce5-803e-0c18c297f0e9.webp?v=1768846962","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cafe-nevo-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
