riters Gloria Kurian
Broder and Bill Broder
have spent nearly 49 years
of their 50-year marriage living in
California. But, in their newly pub-
lished works of fiction, both return to
the atmosphere, if not to the specific
streets or shuls, of their early years in
Jewish Detroit and in the paradise that
was Charlevoix.
On Sunday, April 23, the Broders
will read from their latest books
at a lecture-discussion at the
Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield.
The event
is spon-
sored by
the JCC's
Henry and
Delia Meyers
Library.
"We always
meant to
move back to
Detroit one
day," said
Bill Broder,
a nephew
of former
JCC presi-
dent Henry
Meyers. "We
did come
back once in
Gloria Kurian Broder
a while until
recently. We
still have rela-
tives here."
Although both Broders grew up
in the same Detroit neighborhood
— Gloria. on Chicago Boulevard and
Bill on Boston Boulevard — and both
attended Durfee Junior High, the two
never met. He went on to Cranbrook;
she graduated from Central High.
It took a blind date in Cambridge,
Mass., to bring the two aspiring writ-
ers together.
Since then, they have been insepa-

rable, growing their careers along with
their family. Their daughter, Tanya, is a
public interest lawyer for the National
Immigration Law Center, while their
son, Adam, is a screenwriter and
director. His movie Pumpkin, starring
Christina Ricci, was distributed by
MGM in 2002.
Gloria's short fiction has been pub-
lished in Harper's, Ploughshares
and other literary magazines. Among
the works in her new collection,
Their Magician and Other Stories,
(Handsel Books/Other Press; 2005;
$20) is the quirky but haunting "Elena,
Unfaithful," which was anthologized in
Great American Love Stories (Little,
Brown; 1998).
As a writer, Bill Broder has worked
extensively in the field of education.
In addition, he has published the
short-story collection The Sacred
Hoop (Sierra Club Books; 1979) and,
along with Gloria, the historical novel
Remember This Time (Newmarket
Press; 1983), based on the experiences
of his wife's mother and her sisters
in Belorussia during World War I and
the Russian Revolution. He helped
found and direct the theater company
California On Stage and has completed
several full-length plays.
His latest novel, Taking Care of Cleo,
(Handsel Books/Other Press; 2006;
$24.95), will be released nationwide
this week.
"We believe in fiction:' he told the
Jewish News in a recent interview. "We
feel it is a higher form of truth:'

Dreaming Of Charlevoix
"I was asked what had been my
impulse in writing this book:' he said
about his new novel. "My answer is:
It's an act of gratitude for my life:'
The Broders were married on Aug.
31, 1956, in Detroit by Rabbi Morris
Adler. The wedding took place in the
small chapel of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek, then located at Chicago
Boulevard and Lawton. After visit-
ing Niagara Falls, the couple paid a
short visit to Boston, where they took
a sentimental shopping trip through
