SUMMARY:Fiction Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Autumn by Ali Smith\nAutumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Two old friends–Daniel\, a centenarian\, and Elisabeth\, born in 1984–look to both the future and the past as the United Kingdom stands divided by a historic\, once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won\, love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round\, as ever. \n  \nA luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harvest and worth\, Autumn is the first installment of Ali Smith’s Seasonal quartet\, and it casts an eye over our own time: Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearean jeu d’esprit\, Keatsian melancholy\, the sheer bright energy of 1960s pop art. Wide-ranging in time-scale and light-footed through histories\, Autumn is an unforgettable story about aging and time and love–and stories themselves.

SUMMARY:Lauren Groff
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Groff reads from her new story collection\, Florida. \n\nAbout Florida \n\nThe bold new book from the celebrated New York Times-bestselling author of Fates and Furies. \n“Lauren Groff is a writer of rare gifts.” –The New York Times Book Review \nIn her vigorous and moving new book\, Lauren Groff brings her electric storytelling and intelligence to a world in which storms\, snakes\, and sinkholes lurk at the edge of everyday life\, but the greater threats and mysteries are of a human\, emotional\, and psychological nature. Among those navigating it all are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy\, grown up; a restless\, childless couple\, a searching\, homeless woman; and an unforgettable\, recurring character — a steely and conflicted wife and mother. \nThe stories in this collection span characters\, towns\, decades\, even centuries\, but Florida — its landscape\, climate\, history\, and state of mind — becomes its gravitational center: an energy\, a mood\, as much as a place of residence. Groff transports the reader\, then jolts us alert with a crackle of wit\, a wave of sadness\, a flash of cruelty\, as she writes about loneliness\, rage\, family\, and the passage of time. With shocking accuracy and effect\, she pinpoints the moments and decisions and connections behind human pleasure and pain\, hope and despair\, love and fury — the moments that make us alive. Startling\, precise\, and affecting\, Florida is a magnificent achievement. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFLORIDA (HARDCOVER)\n\nBy Lauren Groff\n$27.00\nISBN: 9781594634512\nAvailability: Coming Soon.
