Tompkins
County Public Library will host a discussion of the award-winning novel,
“Fortune Smiles” by Adam Johnson, during the winter session of its “4 Seasons Book Club,” Thursday, February 4 from
6:30-7:30 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room-West.
Winner
of the National Book Award for Fiction and the Pulitzer Prize for his acclaimed
novel about North Korea, “The Orphan Master's Son,” Johnson is one of the most
acclaimed authors of the 21st century. A collection of short
stories, “Fortune Smiles” is subtly surreal, darkly comic and both hilarious
and heartbreaking.
Participating
in the “4 Seasons Book Club” is available online and in-person. Face-to-face
meeting dates in 2016 are scheduled for February 4, April 21, June 2 and
October 6. Online discussions are ongoing and by invitation only. The
online “4 Seasons Book Club” is available through Goodreads, a "free
website for book lovers.” To register on Goodreads, visit http://www.goodreads.com.
