The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael ChabonMonday March 26 @ 7:00
It is New York City in 1939. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdini-esque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat to date: smuggling himself out of Nazi-occupied Prague. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a collaborator to create the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book. The tragicomic adventures of a couple of boy geniuses reveal much about what happened to America in the middle of the twentieth century. Copies of the book are available at the Circulation Desk.
