Our last book club meeting was about the book “The Little Liar” by Mitch Albom. We discussed how lies affected the lives of the four main characters, and how each of them dealt with the aftermath over the decades. We discussed the similarities of incidents in the book to events today, for example the rise of antisemitism.
Our next book is “Not From Here “ by Leah Lax. Leah has had a dual career as an author and a librettist. When she was asked to write an opera with composer Christopher Theofanidis to celebrate local immigrants, she sought out people willing to tell her about their journeys to America. The book is a collection of stories told by people of different nationalities, laced with the author’s profound and poignant musings.
Our next meeting will be on Sunday, January 19th at 12:30 in the TBT library.
Feel free to bring lunch or a snack.
Quote: In a time about polarization about immigration “Not From Here” makes space for a much needed deep breath.”
