In these “wry, finely honed, interlocking stories” (Atlantic Monthly), Segal offers a brilliant and nuanced portrayal of the lives of a close-knit group of friends and colleagues in a fictional college town in Connecticut. Told through a series of unforgettable dinner parties, afternoon picnics, and Sunday brunches, “the cumulative power of Shakespeare’s Kitchen lies in Segal’s dazzling ability to merge the mundane details of life with the arc of human emotion” (Washington Post Book World). It’s a deeply moving work that marks the triumphant return of a writer at the height of her powers.
