ABCD Reads "Transcription" by Ben Lerner
Tue, Sep 15, 11:00 PMABCD Reads "[Transcription](https://tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S234C4726966)" by Ben Lerner. ([RESULTS](https://opavote.com/results/5098056250032128) of the poll for this event.) **:: ABOUT THE BOOK ::** "From the âmost talented writer of his generationâ (The New York Times), a lightning flash of a novel that is at once a gripping emotional drama and a brilliant examination of the devices, digital and literary, we use to storeâor to eraseâour memories. The narrator of Ben Lernerâs new novel has traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, where he is to conduct what will be the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor and the father of his college friend, Max. Thomas is a giant in the arts who seems to hail âfrom the future and the past simultaneouslyâ and who âreenchants the airâ when he speaks. But the narrator drops his smartphone in the hotel sink. He arrives at Thomasâs house with no recording device, a fact he is mysteriously unable to confess." (from [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/231387262-transcription)) "An emotional drama and an examination of the devices, digital and literary, we use to storeâor to eraseâour memories."

Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton
Tue, Sep 15, 10:30 PMThis time we'll be reading *Good Morning, Midnight* by Lily Brooks-Dalton. Here's the blurb: Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars. For years he has lived in remote outposts, studying the sky for evidence of how the universe began. At his latest posting, in a research center in the Arctic, rumors of war arrive. The scientists are forced to evacuate, but Augustine stubbornly refuses to abandon his work. Shortly after the others have gone, Augustine discovers a mysterious child, Iris, and realizes the airwaves have gone silent. They are alone. At the same time, Mission Specialist Sullivan is aboard the Aether on its return flight from Jupiter. The astronauts are the first human beings to delve this deep into space, and Sully has made peace with the sacrifices required of her: a daughter left behind, a marriage ended. So far the journey has been a success, but when Mission Control falls inexplicably silent, Sully and her crew mates are forced to wonder if they will ever get home. As Augustine and Sully each face an uncertain future against forbidding yet beautiful landscapes, their stories gradually intertwine in a profound and unexpected conclusion. In crystalline prose, *Good Morning, Midnight* poses the most important questions: What endures at the end of the world? How do we make sense of our lives? The book is available here: Amazon- Hardcover, Paperback, eBook, Audiobook: https://a.co/d/09erObPQ Indigo- Paperback: https://www.indigo.ca/products/good-morning-midnight?variant=46166439362737 Kobo- eBook: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/good-morning-midnight-1?sId=d4557681-b69a-4e68-931e-9c5bfbe6139d&ssId=Ot0g5Y1HiPhQuZozArWj8&cPos=1 Toronto Public Library: https://tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S234C3411234 Looking forward to seeing you there!
