In Kaaterskill Falls, Allegra Goodman, author of The Family Markowitz turns her pen to the intimate details of a close-knit Jewish summer community in the Catskills. Goodman's deft sense of character brings alive an appealing and engrossing cast, fleshed out by nuances of place and time. In Bold Type this month we bring you an excerpt from Kaaterskill Falls, an author notebook about the genesis of the novel, and a short story from the new collection Total Immersion.
