Bloomfield • Tel: 248.737.3317 • Fax: 248.737.3026 The Kill Clause, Hurwitz's fourth novel, follows Tim Rackley, a deputy U.S. marshal devastated by the murder of his daughter and the legal technicali- ties that set the killer free. Rackley, who will be in a new series of Hurwitz books, weighs teaming up with a secret group of victims' families, also feeling betrayed by the justice sys- tem and seeking their own ways of tak- ing care of criminals. Hurwitz, who majored in English and psychology at Harvard and concen- trated on Shakespearean tragedy while earning a master's degree from Trinity College at Oxford University, became focused on books while growing up in a home where television was forbidden. In his visit to Ann Arbor, he looks forward to exploring the campus where his mother, Majorie Messing Hurwitz, earned her bachelor's degree. Hurwitz, raised without religious observance, does create Jewish charac- ters. In his latest thriller, there is a Jewish woman trying to find justice she feels was denied in court. "I hope my books will generate con- versation and discussion," Hurwitz says. "I pick complicated issues for that purpose." Pasek also addresses complex issues in Einstein Never Used Flash Cards, but her message has to do with allowing chil- dren less structured time so they can explore their own creativity. "There's an enormous gap between what we know about children and what we do," says Pasek, 50, who co-wrote the book with Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, a longtime writing partner, and Diane Eyer, another psychology colleague. "Children need to explore, and we must let them do that by giving them back their childhood." Pasek, a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, has been co- author of nine other books about chil- dren and is a contributor to 'An Ethical Start," a program used at the JCC's Early Childhood Center. In her presen- tation, she will explain how her approach makes families feel more com- fortable and less exhausted. "We have to rescue our children from a hurried society," says Pasek, whose son Benjamin is a freshman in the musical theater program at the University of Michigan. "We must remember that people learn over time, and personal experience matters." Pasek explains that time spent in communication and unstructured play also is time spent with important learn- ing activities, often more meaningful than memorizing information. "This book tells the story of devel- opment from the scientist's point of view," the introduction explains. "It thus offers an antidote not only to the hurried child but also to the hurried parent and hurried teacher." ❑ The 16th annual Ann Arbor Jewish Book Fair runs Nov. 9-16 at the Jewish Community Center of Washtenaw County, 2935 Birch Hollow Drive, Ann Arbor. The only speaker not appearing at the JCC is Adam Bellow, who will be at the Ann Arbor Main Library, 343 S. Fifth Ave. All speakers are free, but there will be a $6 charge for each meal at the Lunch & Learn programs featuring Ari Weinzweig, Sheri Fink, Stella Suberman, Stuart Eizenstat and Lev Raphael. The Robbo concert will be $4 for members and $6 for nonmem- bers with children under 2 admitted free. (734) 971-0990.
