About this event
Olympic Room. Join the Main Book Club in the Cascade Room to discuss the novel, The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich. About the book: The Mighty Red is a novel of tender humor, disturbance, and hallucinatory mourning. It is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets; men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. It is about a starkly beautiful prairie community whose members must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them. As with every book this great modern master writes, The Mighty Red is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor. Copies of The Mighty Red are available at Main while they last for sign out, or from various branch collections.
