Weird Book Club at Midwest Coast Brewing: A Memory Called Empire

Do you like science fiction, fantasy, horror, or other speculative books? Meet fellow weird readers to discuss strange and thought-provoking fiction and non-fiction at Weird Book Club, an adult book discussion group that meets at Midwest Coast Brewing on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Reserved book club copies are available to checkout at the Manning Branch circulation desk, while supplies last. Many titles are also available as eBooks or eAudiobooks on the Hoopla and/or Libby app. This month's title is A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. The Lsel Ambassador, Mahit Dzmare, arrives for her first assignment to Teixcalaan, only to discover that her predecessor is dead and the technology used on Lsel that could allow her to communicate with him is not working. It doesn't take her long to figure out that sabotage and murder are likely involved. With the help of her Teixcalaan Guide, Three Seagrass; some newfound allies; and her own abilities, Mahit navigates a political minefield. Revolution from within the Empire begins even as a new threat looms over her home of Lsel. Mahit must protect her home at all costs, in this complex world in which poetry is the language of history, culture, and communication. -- Connie Williams for School Library Journal This event is for ages 21+ Accessibility Need sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?
