This month the GFL Book Club will be reading Thank You, Mr. Nixon, a short story collection by Greensboro summer resident and author Gish Jen. Gish will be reading her work together with fellow Vermont author Melanie Finn at the Highland Center for the Arts' Back Roads Readings program on Sunday, July 9th at 3:00 pm. She will also be joining our book club to discuss her book a week earlier than our normal time, on Thursday, July 20th at 5:00 pm here at the library. Both events are free and everyone is welcome. We have copies of Thank You Mr. Nixon available for loan.
In Thank You, Mr. Nixon, "Gish Jen takes the measure of the fifty years since the opening of China and its unexpected effects on the lives of ordinary people... The eleven linked stories trace the intimate ways in which humans make and are made by history." (from the book jacket) Please join us in discussing these stories with the author.
