Description
Best-selling author Margalit Fox will talk about her latest book, The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum at the JCC's Literary Luncheon on Wednesday, April 9 at 12:30 PM.
Tabloid sensation Fredericka Mandelbaum headed her own crime syndicate in New York City from the 1870s onward, specializing in “fencing” stolen properties and financing bank burglaries. A penniless immigrant barely twenty years earlier, Mrs. Mandelbaum entertained a varied crowd at her dining table: politicians and police, upper-class business leaders and their fashionable wives, and some of her tonier underworld accomplices. She was a Jewish wife and mother and reportedly an enthusiastic member of her local synagogue.
After being immersed in Mrs. Mandelbaum’s life and times, readers may decide there’s really no need to explain her success; she was simply one of a kind. It’s a tribute to Fox’s storytelling talents that this unique and mysterious woman has come to life.
Margalit Fox originally trained as a cellist and a linguist before pursuing journalism. As a senior writer in The New York Times’s Obituary News Department, she wrote the front-page public sendoffs of some of the leading cultural figures of our age. Winner of the William Saroyan Prize for Literature and author of four previous books, The Confidence Men, Conan Doyle for the Defense, The Riddle of the Labyrinth, and Talking Hands, Fox lives in Manhattan with her husband.
