 n\nIn Antiquities\, Lloyd Wilkinson Petrie\, one of the seven elderly trus
 tees of the now-defunct (for thirty-four years) Temple Academy for Boys\, 
 is preparing a memoir of his days at the school\, intertwined with the tro
 ubling distractions of present events. As he navigates\, with faltering re
 call\, between the subtle anti-Semitism that pervaded the school's ethos a
 nd his fascination with his own family's heritage--in particular\, his ill
 ustrious cousin\, the renowned archaeologist Sir William Matthew Flinders 
 Petrie--he reconstructs the passions of a childhood encounter with the odd
 ly named Ben-Zion Elefantin\, a mystifying older pupil who claims descent 
 from Egypt's Elephantine Island. From this seed emerges one of Cynthia Ozi
 ck's most wondrous tales\, touched by unsettling irony and the elusive fla
 vor of a Kafka parable\, and weaving\, in her own distinctive voice\, myth
  and mania\, history and illusion.\nFor more information\, contact the Boo
 k Club leader.
