The Marx family are middle class Jews from Newton, Mass who eat pork and don’t really go to temple, but celebrate some of the holidays. It’s a move Natalie Marx, Lipman’s chutzpah-loving protagonist, would certainly get behind. The Lipmans turned out to be unrelated, but in her director’s note, Lipman credits her mother’s chutzpah with bringing them all together. Her mother believed that Eleanor Lipman was a distant relative, which helped spur Jake to reach out more than a decade later. Jake Lipman, Tongue in Cheek’s artistic director and producer, came to the novel The Inn at Lake Devine 15 years ago when she and her mother heard the author at a reading.
