Extra Cup of Tea Time Book Club – So Far Gone by Jess Walter

West Falmouth Library has added an Extra Cup of Tea Time Book Club on the fourth Thursdays at 6 PM. The group will discuss the same titles as the original Tea Time on the third Thursday..

The selection for the May 28 meeting is the novel So Far Gone by Jess Walter, finalist for the Aspen Words Literary Prize. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins—and in the propulsive spirit of Charles Portis’ True Grit—comes a hilarious, empathetic, and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren.

“A warm, funny, loving novel. . . . It’s an American original.”—Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake

“Searing and sublime … Walter is a slyly adept social critic, and has clearly invested his protagonist with all of the outrage and heartbreak he himself feels about the dark course our world has taken … What gets us all through … are novels like this one.” Leigh Haber, Los Angeles Times
