Afternoon Literary Seminar: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened

THIS SESSION IS ONLINE

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened

Shortlisted for the National Book Award, The Turner House is a vivid, moving look into a large Detroit family returning home to decide their fate when the matriarch has to give up their house. The novel is super absorbing and approachable, digging in to the ways that families weather economic storms—from the 40s through 2008—providing empathy and a model for resilience we could all use in 2020.

Join Kimberly to delve deeper into a novel that has been described as “transformed by intragenerational retelling rather than passed down,” one made up of “quick and dirty mythmaking,” a book we should all be reading now.

 Book will be shipped directly to you so that you may read it prior to the seminar. You may also choose to pick books up at Kepler’s in Menlo Park as another option.
