Event Description

Grab a drink and join us as we read The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. Leo Gursky taps his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he’s still alive. But life wasn’t always like this: In the Polish village of his youth, he fell in love and wrote a book. And although he doesn’t know it, that book also survived: It crossed oceans and generations, and changed lives. Fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after a character in that book, undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. Before we dive into discussion, John Rohrbach, the Carter’s Curator Emeritus, will lead a tour of the exhibition Fortune of the Spirit | Robert Bergman.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation may be provided during this event upon advance request. Please send us an email for more information.
