Join us on Tuesday, July 4th at 7:00 pm for discussion and beverages at The Sylvia Hotel Lounge.
It is 1999, and David Lambert, jilted lover and museum curator, is about to discover the startling news of the return of H. G. Wells's time machine to London. Motivated by a host of unanswered questions and innate curiosity, he propels himself deep into the next millenium. As he sets foot in the luxuriant but menacing new landscape, he soon begins to explore the ruins of his life, a labyrinth of erotic obsession and remorse involving his old friend Bird, and Anita -- the beautiful, eccentric Egyptologist they both loved, mysteriously dead at thirty-two.
A Scientific Romance is a book of surpassing creativity and intelligence, as evocative as it is cautionary.
I went to the New Railway Club and I kinda love it.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is live music every night BUT Tuesday nights are Comedy Night so not so loud. Menu is paninis and soup and salads. 24 beer taps coming out of the wall (maybe a couple of those are cider spigots.
Cool vibe. I think we should give it a go.
Ok! Let's aim for September as we are skipping the August meeting. It will be nice to be downtown again.
