NOVEMBER BOOK
Our book for November is Burma Chronicles, a graphic novel by Canadian Guy Delisle (link). We'll continue at the Steamworks Brew Pub covered patio (Steamworks) next to Waterfront Station (with plenty of propane heaters). Kick off November in style by enjoying some libations and literary palaver with your friendly neighborhood bibliophiles; 7pm this Tuesday (Nov 1) evening. All are welcome as always.
From Wikipedia: The book recounts Guy Delisle's trip to the southeast Asian country which is officially recognized by the United Nations as Myanmar but that is referred to as Burma by countries that do not recognize the military junta that controls it. Delisle went with his infant son, Louis, and his wife, Nadège, an administrator for Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF or Doctors Without Borders). At the beginning of the trip, the family must stay in an MSF guest house while they search for more permanent housing. Guy stays home and takes care of Louis while Nadège is frequently absent on MSF business. Guy takes Louis on frequent walks around the neighborhood in his stroller and interacts with local people in Burma.
