SUMMARY:The JFT Library Book Club - Memoirs of a Polar Bear with The European Book Club
DESCRIPTION:JFT Book Club Special Edition with The European Book Club \nOn Thursday February 20\, 2020\, the JFT Book Club will join the European Book Club and discuss Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada. \n\nMemoirs of a Polar Bear stars three generations of talented writers and performers. Famous stars of the literary world\, the circus\, and the zoo\, they happen to be polar bears who move human society. In part one\, the matriarch\, enjoying “the intimacy of being alone with my pen\,” accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography in the Soviet Union. In part two\, her daughter Tosca moves to East Germany and pioneers a thrilling circus act. And Tosca’s son – the last of their line – is Knut\, born in part three and raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo. \nYoko Tawada was born in Tokyo in 1960\, moved to Hamburg when she was twenty-two\, and then to Berlin in 2006. She writes in both Japanese and German\, and has published several books – stories\, novels\, poems\, plays\, essays – in both languages. She has received numerous awards. \n\nThursday\, February 20\, 2020 [6:30 pm – 7:30 pm] \n  \nPlease call at 416-966-2935 or email the library at library@jftor.org to reserve your seat.\nPlease be aware that space may be limited. \nThank you for participating! \n\nPrevious Book Clubs\n\nThe Little House – December 12\, 2019 \n\nMystery Book Club – October 10\, 2019 \n\nMovies and Books – August 8\, 2019 \n\n\nBooks and Tea – June 6\, 2019
