About this event
Tables in the reading area. Join us at Kobetich Branch to discuss a new book each month. This month we will be reading Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. One snowy night Arthur Leander, a famous actor, has a heart attack onstage during a production. Jeevan Chaudhary is in the audience and leaps to his aid. A child actress named Kirsten Raymonde watches in horror as Jeevan performs CPR, pumping Arthur's chest as the curtain drops, but Arthur is dead. That same night, as Jeevan walks home from the theater, a terrible flu begins to spread. Hospitals are flooded and Jeevan and his brother barricade themselves inside as life disintegrates outside. This novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet. --Provided by the publisher. The book is available for check out at the Kobetich circulation desk. The Kobetich Book Club will meets on the last Wednesday of the month. New members are always welcome! Please call Kobetich library staff at 253-280-2921 for assistance with locating or reserving a copy.
