Margie Plymouth is the 18th generation heir to the founding poets of Plymouth Rock, while Homar Hudson proudly descends from what can only be called Persia’s Homer, claiming as his forebear the immigrant Perseus who came as a stranger into the strange land of Pelopennus, and who, as William Gladstone has reported, was in “close relation with that outer circle of traditions…designated as Phoenician.” Together, Ms. Plymouth and Mr. Hudson are tuning up a screenplay titled Eichmann in Ramallah, about a Lutheran American woman perpetually on route to Jerusalem, who spends her days stopped at Israeli checkpoints, while her Muslim husband and children are permitted right through.
