Empathy & Heroism Book Club at Central Library, LAPL – Teen’Scape Event
New Book Club: Spiritual Classics with Nick Shindo Street at the Last Bookstore
Join us to hear Colin Dayan, author of In the Belly of Her Ghost. The author has one of the most original minds in America and also one of the fiercest. Here for the first time she turns her rigorous intellect toward her vexed relationship with her mother, and subsequent suffering. Plus, she does so with her usual uncompromising clarity in a book that is not exactly an easy read, but one that’s hard to put down, according Madison Smartt Bell.
