Adams Street Book Club: Gorilla, My Love by Toni Cade Bambara
book club
book discussion
Meet with others to discuss Toni Cade Bambara's Gorilla, My Love.
In these fifteen superb stories, written in a style at once ineffable and immediately recognizable, this essential author of African American fiction gives us compelling portraits of a wide range of unforgettable characters, from audacious children to cunning old men, in scenes shifting between uptown New York and rural North Carolina.
A young girl suffers her first betrayal. A widow flirts with an elderly blind man against the wishes of her grown-up children. A neighborhood loan shark teaches a white social worker a lesson in responsibility. And there is more. Sharing the world of Toni Cade Bambara's "straight-up fiction" is a stunning experience.
Registration is required. Please stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book. For more information or to RSVP, call 718.230.2264 or register for this event to receive information via email.
