Bookish: Sea of Tranquility

August 29 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Grab a drink and join the Carter to dive into Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: the exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe. A virtuoso performance that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful, Sea of Tranquility is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that precisely captures the reality of our current moment. Before diving into discussion, Carter curator Maggie Adler will lead a tour of the exhibition Dario Robleto: The Signal.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation may be provided during this event upon advance request. Please send the Carter an email for more information.
