Summary
Set in present-day Brooklyn and Manhattan - with historic monuments and institutions as background characters - The Linotype Operator is the story of Orthodox Jewish former Linotype operator David Kaplan and his two daughters. Dutiful and religiously observant Naomi is 48 and single and lives with her father in Brooklyn. Her “prettier” younger sister, Lisa, is married, has two young children, and lives in the suburban community of Englewood, New Jersey. After meeting a handsome non-Jewish man at the Macy’s housewares department where she works, Naomi’s periodic daydreams begin to get the best of her - setting in motion a collision of worlds that can scarcely be contained in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. Sprinkled with wry humor, and including a cast of unusual supporting characters, The Linotype Operator gives the listener a deeply poignant look into parallel New York worlds and lives.
