The Pushing the Limits book discussion series continues on Thursday, March 26 at 6:30 pm. The theme is Heritage and the book is The Overstory by Richard Powers. Jerry Schneider will lead this discussion about the book that won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Environmental leader, Bill McKibben writes, "This book is beyond special. Richard Powers manages to turn trees into vivid and engaging characters, something that indigenous people have done for eons but that modern literature has rarely if ever even attempted. It's not just a completely absorbing, even overwhelming book; it's a kind of breakthrough in the ways we think about and understand the world around us, at a moment when that is desperately needed."
There will be refreshments from the Magic Spoon Bakery!
Copies of the book are available to check out at the library. The Pushing the Limits Book Discussion series is a science based series supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. For more information call the library at 472-5948 or check www.jeudevinememoriallibrary.org
