Upcoming Events

Spring is here and Katrina will host our next gathering on Monday, April 26th, 7pm at Tauraso's. We'll be discussing The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffeneger.

The Time Traveler's Wife, is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Audrey Niffenegger is an instructor at Columbia College's Center for Book and Paper Arts in Chicago, Audrey Niffenegger teaches her students how to print type on letterpresses and craft limited-edition books by hand. Her own first novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, may be her finest creation yet.
