• G.A.R. BOOK GROUPS
    Adult Book Group -

    We next meet on Monday, February 4th at 6:30.  Our February book will be Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday. 
    Alice, a young American editor living in New York, is in a relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. Amar, an Iraqi-American economist, is on his way to visit his brother in Kurdistan when he is detained by immigration officers and spends the last weekend of 2008 in a holding room in Heathrow. Years later a BBC journalist conducts an interview with Blazer about life, love, and legacy. These three disparate narratives combine into a riveting story of love, luck, and the inextricability of life and art.
