Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Discussion: Nothing but the Rain
Chicago Public Library
Join us for a discussion of Naomi Salman's Nothing but the Rain."A sleepy little town discovers its memories have become part of the water cycle in Naomi Salman's debut novella, Nothing but the Rain. The rain in Aloisville is never-ending, and no one can remember when it started. There's not much they can remember. With every drop that hits their skin, a bit of memory is washed away. Stay too long in the wet, and you'll lose everything you used to be. By the time Lavergne begins keeping a journal, the small town she calls home has been irreparably changed. Every drop of water is dangerous, from leaky faucets to the near-constant rainfall, and a careless trip outside can mean a life down the drain. With mysterious forces preventing escape, calls for rebellion seem to be on every resident's lips. But Leverne has no interest in fighting. She has no interest in rebellion. She just wants to survive."- from the publisher, TorHow to AttendThis event is available in person and online.Attend in person at the Harold Washington Library Center400 S.
