Book Review
How to Behave in a Crowd
by Camille Bordas
In Camille Bordas novel,
“How to Behave in a Crowd,”
11-year-old Isidore Mazel is the
youngest of six siblings living
in a small French town. He
doesn’t quite fit in. Berenice,
Aurore and Leonard are on
track to have doctorates by age
24. Jeremie performs with a
symphony, and Simone, older
than Isidore by 18 months,
expects a great career as a nov-
elist — she’s already put Isidore
to work on her biography.
They hardly ever leave their
rooms, except to gather on the
old, stained couch and dissect
prime-time television dramas in
light of Aristotle’s Poetics.
Isidore has never skipped a
grade or written a dissertation.
But he notices things the others
don’t and asks questions they’re
afraid to ask. So when tragedy
strikes the Mazal family, Isidore
is the only one to recognize how
everyone is struggling with
their grief, and perhaps the only
one who can help them — if he
doesn’t run away from the home
first.
Isidore’s unstinting empathy,
combined with his simmering
anger, makes for a complex
character study, in which the ele-
giac and comedic build toward a
heart-breaking conclusion.
With “How to Behave in a
Crowd,”
Camille
Bordas
immerses readers in the interior
life of a boy puzzled by adult-
hood and beginning to realize
that the adults around him are
just as lost.

David Helfand and Justin
Lader in Concert
The library is pleased to pres-
ent musicians David Helfand
and Justin Lader this Saturday,
Dec. 2, at 2 p.m., for an after-
noon of vibrant, transcendental
original music inspired by magi-
cal journeys and featuring music
from their latest album,
“Through the Portal.”
7 A
The duo’s music has been
called “an eclectic blend of orig-
inal multi-cultural inspired
music of passion and transcen-
dence with inspirations from the
Celtic lands, the Middle East,
pentatonic meditation music,
space music and progressive
rock.”
Helfand is a multi-talented
instrumentalist. He composes as
well as plays the Celtic harp,
mandocello, octave mandolin,
guitar and keyboard.
Lader, who teaches the violin
and viola, also composes and is
an accomplished violist.
Together they play beautiful
lively jigs and wistfully sad
tunes, their instruments eliciting
a contrast of emotions.
This concert is free and open
to the public.
