It’s a gabillion degrees outside, but IT’S OK — we have Coolhaus now. (Big thanks to Alexandra and Siobhan of New York a la Cart for making it happen!)
e-Staff Picks: Minotaur by Benjamin Tammuz
Chad says: “Originally released in 1981 to praise from a certain Graham Greene, Minotaur, through a series of different narrative perspectives, depicts a haunting kind of love—one shared between a young woman and a notably older, (notably obsessive) secret agent. Let me be clear: there is a Lamborghini in this novel, and it’s kind of awesome. Minotaur also renders the political climate of Tel Aviv in the early 20th century, adolescence, love, violence, so much more—and it all comes together remarkably well through Tammuz’s immensely readable writing style.”
The Weekly WORD
That’s it for May, everyone. May was cool! Next up, as you know is JUNE. We kick things off with the WORD Book Group, the Romance Book Group, a launch party for The Lullaby of Polish Girls, a night devoted to HER KIND, a literary community dedicated to women in the arts, and David Samuel Levinson. And that’s just the beginning.
OH in the kids section: “Honey, not all books are about building robots.” Well, NOT YET!!! BWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAHH.
We’re over the Cleft-Ridge Span, and near the boathouse, across the pond from the main stage. See you there!
Needless to say, Chad is pretty excited for our Odd Duck tea party. 4pm! (Iced) Tea and crumpets (aka donut holes).
Where in the WORD? This weekend, we have ALL THE THINGS for you:
Come say hi!
Simone was blushing while paging through Marie Calloway’s What Purpose Did I Serve in Your Life, so she hid her face behind the book. And then behind the other side of the book.
