Description

The benefit of our Short Story Book Club: If you only read one or two of the stories, you can still meaningfully participate and not worry about spoiling a book you're only halfway through. If you're not wild about one short story between the covers, chances are that you'll find at least one with which you'll fall in love. October's pick is Ghost Lover: Stories by Lisa Taddeo. In these nine riveting stories - which include two Pushcart Prize winners and a finalist for the National Magazine Award - Taddeo brings to life the fever of obsession, the blindness of love, and the mania of grief. Featuring her arresting prose that continues to thrill her legions of fans, Ghost Lover dares you to look away. We will meet in person at our new store location at 117 S. Pineapple Ave. The book club is $27 which includes your copy of Ghost Lover to be picked up at Bookstore1 anytime before our meeting. About Ghost Lover: From Lisa Taddeo, #1 New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Three Women and "our most eloquent and faithful chronicler of human desire" (Esquire), Ghost Lover is an electrifying collection of fearless and ferocious short stories. Behind anonymous screens, an army of cool and beautiful girls manage the dating service Ghost Lover, a forwarding system for text messages that promises to spare you the anguish of trying to stay composed while communicating with your crush. At a star-studded political fundraiser in a Los Angeles mansion, a trio of women compete to win the heart of the slick guest of honor. In a tense hospital waiting room, an inseparable pair of hard-partying friends crash into life's responsibilities, but the magic of their glory days comes alive again at the moment they least expect it. ..........................................................................
