Introducing ...The Every Other Month Book Club
Starting Tuesday, February 21, 7pm at the store Laurie and Kim will be here to discuss Tea Obreht’s amazing novel The Tiger’s Wife From Publishers Weekly: Starred Review. The sometimes crushing power of myth, story, and memory is explored in the brilliant debut of Obreht, the youngest of the New Yorker's 20-under-40. Natalia Stefanovi, a doctor living (and, in between suspensions, practicing) in an unnamed country that's a ringer for Obreht's native Croatia, crosses the border in search of answers about the death of her beloved grandfather, who raised her on tales from the village he grew up in, and where, following German bombardment in 1941, a tiger escaped from the zoo in a nearby city and befriended a mysterious deaf-mute woman. Obreht is an expert at depicting history through aftermath, people through the love they inspire, and place through the stories that endure; the reflected world she creates is both immediately recognizable and a legend in its own right. Obreht is talented far beyond her years, and her unsentimental faith in language, dream, and memory is a pleasure. (Mar.) We request you get The Tiger’s Wife from RRBooks and read it before the first meeting. Call to sign up today. ______________________________________________________________
