UC Book Club

Next up for the UC Book Club is a debut novel from 2022 that features what The New York Times calls “a beguiling octopus narrator.”  Come join the discussion of Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt scheduled for Wednesday, November 13, at 4 p.m. via Zoom. The Washington Post calls the book both “ultimately feel-good but deceptively sensitive.”  A reviewer at Elle writes, “infused with heartfelt humor, Van Pelt’s elegant portrait of a widowed woman who finds understanding and connection with a clever octopus is refreshingly, if surprisingly, relatable. . . . [T]he debut novel offers a wholly original meditation on grief and the bonds that keep us afloat.”

As always, email Kathy Fish at Kathy.fish [at] ucumberlands.edu (Kathy[dot]fish[at]ucumberlands[dot]edu) to be added to the Zoom invitation list.
