More 21st Century Standouts! That’s the theme for the next series of Evening Book Club picks (February through May).
Join us Feb. 11 at 6:45 p.m. in the Margaret Knoll Gardner Lecture Room for a lively discussion of How to Be Both, by Ali Smith.
A Man Booker Prize finalist. In half of the book, we follow the story of a Renaissance painter living a dual identity as a man and a woman; in the other half we meet George, a contemporary teenage girl mourning the death of her mother.
“Joyful. . . Moving. . . Encompasses wonderful mothers, unconventional love and friendship, time, mortality, gender, the consolations of art and so much else.” —NPR
