A disgruntled officer who instigates a major feud over a Post-it note. An industrious gangster who dreams of hosting a cooking show titled Thug Sizzle. There’s an amiable pimp who solicits Steinberg’s help in writing a memoir. The prison library counter, his new post, attracts con men, minor prophets, ghosts, and an assortment of quirky regulars searching for the perfect book and a connection to the outside world. Seeking direction - and dental insurance - Steinberg takes a job as a librarian in a tough Boston prison. And his romantic existence as a freelance obituary writer just isn’t cutting it. While his friends and classmates advance in the world, he remains stuck at a crossroads, unable to meet the lofty expectations of his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. After defecting from yeshiva to Harvard, he has only a senior thesis essay on Bugs Bunny to show for his effort.
