Wellness = a perfect novel for our age...with a deep awareness of the Internet-poisoned, marketing-driven engineered emptiness of modern times, but also a compassionate optimism about our ability to find and maintain love nonetheless...a masterpiece @NPR

TONIGHT 6:30p @UrbanGrowlerMN discuss The Librarianist #booksandbars

[Jeff Kamin @BooksandBars]

NO #BOOKSANDBARS TONIGHT due to the storm, there is still no power @UrbanGrowlerMN & they don't know when it will be fixed. We're rescheduled for Tuesday, September 3rd at 6:30pm @ Urban Growler in the Barrel Room to discuss Librarianist. At least we'll skip State Fair traffic!

[Jeff Kamin @BooksandBars]

"we read as a way to come to grips with the randomness of being alive. To read a book by an observant, sympathetic mind is to see human landscape in all its odd detail. Yes, that’s how it is, only I didn’t know it to describe it. There’s a fraternity achieved-we're not alone.”

[Jeff Kamin @BooksandBars]

NEXT TIME on #BooksandBars:
The Librarianist by Patrick DeWitt
The story of Bob Comet, a man who has lived his life through and for literature, unaware that his own experience is a poignant and affecting narrative in itself.
8/21 @SociableCider
& 8/27 @UrbanGrowlerMN
