Event Details

OBCeans deserve a book club that's a little bit quirky, just like they are! Join us on the first Monday of the month for a lively discussion of books that might not otherwise be on your radar. A limited number of copies of the month's selection will be available for checkout; just ask at the Circulation Desk. 

This month, we will discuss the multiple award-winning short story collection Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado. From the author's website: "...Her Body and Other Parties, was published by Graywolf Press in 2017. In 2018, the New York Times listed Her Body and Other Parties as a member of "The New Vanguard," one of "15 remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write fiction in the 21st century." A television show based on Her Body and Other Parties is currently in development at FX."
