1967. It’s the first night of an adult-ed creative writing course in a
classroom at the local high school. The teacher, Aaron Port, lives in Greenwich
Village and reverse commutes once a week on the Long Island Rail Road’s Babylon
line. His students are a mixed bag: Frieda Cohen, Anna Cantor, and Midge
Braverman, housewives all, embrace each other on arrival, and update their
running checklists on each other’s kids, husbands, and lawns. Their opening
gambit is to tell Aaron in no uncertain terms that they are only there because
French Cooking and Flower Arranging are full. The two men in the class, Jack
Hassenpflug and Marc Adams, sit silently at their desks. One final student,
Joan Dellamond, rushes in late—but she actually does intend to be there. An
aspiring writer troubled by a failing marriage, Joan has little in common with
her neighbors. And yet, she does seek connection. Maybe this class will bring
her, and Aaron, something that neither quite expects.<span></span></span></p>

Jewish. A published writer, he still has to teach to earn a living. Commutes
from his home in Greenwich Village to teach an adult education creative writing
course in Levittown, Long Island. Attractive, intelligent, charming, and
self-deprecating, he has no great design for how his life is mapped out and is
very much aware that some of his contemporaries have found greater success than
he has. He tries to be a patient teacher, but it’s not easy.<span></span></span></p>

Attractive, feminine, highly literate, and articulate, with an emotional
fragility that’s defended by a wry sense of humor. An avid reader with a true
desire to write.<span></span></span></p>

One of the local women in Aaron’s class. Taking Creative Writing because
Current Events was full. The queen bee of her social group and the proud mother
of two teenage sons. Outspoken, self-confident, and quick to judge. Has
opinions on everything and doesn’t hold back. She is the leader of her social
set and expects everyone to fall in line. Smart; nothing gets past her.<span></span></span></p>

Mother of young twins. Friend and next-door neighbor of Frieda Cohen.
Enthusiastic and something of a follower, she’s taking the class because Frieda
told her to. Has led a somewhat sheltered life. The class becomes an escape
from a home life that is much more difficult than it seems.<span></span></span></p>

Married to a CPA. Mother of two teenage boys. Only taking the class because
French Cooking was full. Seems entirely conventional on the surface and indeed
shares opinions and interests with her social set. Ultimately, though, has a
more open and inquiring mind.<span></span></span></p>
