SUMMARY:One Book One Marin 2017
DESCRIPTION:From Anthony Marra\, the author of National Book Award longlist selection and New York Times bestseller A Constellation of Vital Phenomena\, comes The Tsar of Love and Techno\, a collection of dazzling\, poignant\, and lyrical interwoven stories about family\, sacrifice\, the legacy of war\, and the redemptive power of art. \nThis stunning\, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs\, deep underneath Leningrad\, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recounts their stories and those of their grandmothers\, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce\, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose\, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the present\, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents. \nAnthony Marra is the author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena (2013)\, which won the National Book Critics Circle’s inaugural John Leonard Prize\, the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in fiction\, and the Barnes and Noble Discover Award and appeared on over twenty year-end lists. Marra’s novel was a National Book Award longlist selection as well as a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and France’s Prix Medicis. He received an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University\, where he teaches as the Jones Lecturer in Fiction. He has lived and studied in Eastern Europe\, and now resides in Oakland\, California. \nPopular across the United States and throughout the world\, One Book programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city or county. The city\, county and college libraries of Marin\, and community partners Book Passage and the Institute for Leadership Studies at Dominican University of California collaborate to bring Marin County readers stimulating programming and events related to the book throughout a three-month period\, February – April\, each year. All events are free and open to the public. \nThe Launch party at Book Passage kicks off the celebration and introduces the author and programming events that take place during the months of February\, March and April. Most events take place at city and community libraries throughout Marin and are geared around themes of the novel. The One Book One Marin program will conclude with a special event in Spring 2017 (Date TBA) at Dominican University’s Angelico Hall\, featuring Anthony Marra and KQED host Michael Krasny in conversation.
