New Lebanon Book Group: The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie
December 6, 2015
"From the sea of stories our master fisherman has brought up two gleaming, intertwining prizes - a tale about three boys from Florence in the age of Lorenzo de' Medici, and a story of Akbar, greatest of the Mughal emperors, who established both the wondrous and shortlived city Fatehpur Sikri and a wondrous and shortlived policy of religious tolerance. Both stories are about story itself, the power of history and fable, and why it is that we can seldom be sure which is which." ---Ursula LeGuin, The Guardian, March 28, 2008
The group meets at 11 a.m.on the first Sunday of the month at the New Lebanon Library.
New members, late arrivals, and drop-ins are always welcome.
