Los Osos Book Club

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

Wednesday, April 1
10:00am
Yokoso Coffee
All ages welcome.
Limited to 6 seats

Los Osos is small. This is smaller. This will be our first meeting.

We’re starting with Cat’s Cradle. Yes, it’s April 1. No, this is not a joke.

Vonnegut’s darkly funny novel about belief, science, and the fragile stories that hold societies together feels like an appropriate place to begin.

We discuss the whole book. Yes, even the last page.

The meeting will last one hour. Afterward, you’re welcome to stay and continue the conversation.

Yokoso Coffee has kindly reserved a table for us. Please plan to purchase a drink while you’re there. Outside food and drink should be avoided in accordance with their posted policy.

The group is intentionally small so conversation stays thoughtful and everyone has room to participate.

I’ll see you at Yokoso.

Los Osos is small. This is smaller.

Set in 1766 at a remote Hudson Bay Company outpost, the novel follows a secret expedition north after rumors of gold surface in the sub Arctic wilderness. What begins as ambition slowly hardens into violence in a landscape that does not forgive mistakes.

McGuire also wrote The North Water, later adapted into a BBC/AMC series.

We discuss the whole book. Yes, even the last page.
