Mneme's Place

Jonas two big passions are the English language, as spoken by the Irish, and baseball. He is at his most comfortable with the tens of thousands of ballplayers at Mneme s, and often spends time assembling two All-Star teams, one Jewish and one Polish, himself the manager of both.

Having fled Hollywood for Europe to regain his sanity after years of writing for TV, Jonas attempts to write a novel about his former writing partners, his own dysfunctional family mother, father, sister and the Isaacsons, his mother s family, the likes of whom have never been written in American immigrant literature. While it proves impossible for Jonas to put these people down on paper, Wolfe has created a fascinating and unforgettable lineup of characters."
