Afternoon Literary Seminar: The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil,

THIS SESSION IS ONLINE

Leave it to George Saunders—Booker-prize winning, MacArthur-Grant-receiving, hilarious Buddhist genius—to deliver up a short novel that is very dark, very funny and very important. The novella tells the story of a tiny planet that gets suckered into giving all their power to an egomaniacal, idiotic despot who threatens to annihilate their beloved ways of life. Sound familiar? Never has this book been more important. Join Kimberly on this unique, uplifting literary journey to remind yourself of the importance of defending the very best of community.

 

 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.
