Book Club Meeting: Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor

November's Book is Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor.

NOTE: Because the 4th Wednesday is the day before Thanksgiving, we will instead meet 1 week later (the 1st Wednesday of December).

I'll bring a few questions to start us off, but this will be a casual discussion as well as a chance to get to know each other.

Description of the book:

The future of storytelling is here.

Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she's suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister's wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she's not sure what comes next.

In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life - she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes.

What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu's life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
