Shalom Auslander

Shaw TV & McNally Robinson Book Club

Tuesday Feb 26 2013 7:00 pm - Grant Park in the Travel Alcove, Winnipeg

Want to talk books with other book lovers – but without the commitment of a regular book club? Shaw TV, Joanne Kelly and McNally Robinson Booksellers are pleased to continue our free bookclub open to all readers in Winnipeg.

The 2013 season continues with a discussion of Shalom Auslander’s Hope: A Tragedy, a hilarious and haunting examination of the burdens and abuse of history, propelled with unstoppable rhythm and filled with existential musings and mordant wit.

Pick up the book at McNally Robinson, read it over the course of the month and join us this evening for refreshments and discussion! Get in touch with Joanne through e-mail at jmkelly (at) rrc.mb.ca or with John at McNally Robinson at events (at) grant.mcnallyrobinson.ca or by calling 453-0424, ex 227 if you have any questions.

Speaking of attics in the Hudson Valley, have you checked yours lately? Something up there that might be historically, psychologically annoying? Something you can't stop thinking about? Yes? Good! Then you'll enjoy the company of Solomon Kugel who, in addition to worrying about mortgage payments and what he might say on his deathbed, discovers he has a cranky, foul-mouthed novelist secretly living in his attic. Who's the mad woman in the attic this time? Listen to the ever ebullient Shalom Auslander answer this question as he reads from and discusses his first novel. Shalom Auslander was raised in Monsey, New York. Nominated for the Koret Award for writers under thirty-five, he has published articles in Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Tablet, The New Yorker, and has had stories aired on NPR's This American Life. Auslander is the author of the short story collection Beware of God and the memoir Foreskin's Lament.
