Big League
Dreams
By Allen
Hoffman;
Abbeville Press;
$24.95.
Following his
first novel of
this series,
Small Worlds,
author Allen
Hoffman
continues to
explore the
assimilation of the fictitious
Chasidic community of Krimsk in an
evocative tale of the Jewish immigrant
experience. Set on a Sabbath during
the summer of 1920, Big League
Dreams follows the lives of the
Krimsker Rebbe and his followers as
they settle in St. Louis and embrace all
aspects of American life, from bootleg-
ging and gambling to big league base-
ball.

Perfidia
By Judith Rossner; Nan A.
Talese/Doubleday; $23.95.
In her newest novel, Pofidia,
author Judith Rossner (Looking For
Mr. Goodbar) may have been inspired
by the real-life story of the Harvard
applicant who killed her -abusive
mother with a candlestick. In telling
the story of Anita and Maddy Stern,
Rossner, says the New York Times, •
traces the seductive attachment and
growing repulsion of a mother and
daughter who mean far too much to
each other.

Schmidt; W.
Freeman er Co.;

Nobel laureate
in chemistry
Roald Hoffman
and Shira
Hoffman, an engineer, teacher and tal-

mudic scholar living in Israel, explore

natural and the unnatural. Says
Michael Berger, head of Emory
University's department of reli-
gion, "From now on, it will be
hard for me to look at science
without thinking of the potential
correspondence with Judaism."
