Event Details

This month, join your neighbors to discuss The Book of Eels: Our Enduring Fascination With the Most Mysterious Creature in the Natural World by Parik Svensson. Blending memoir and nature writing, Svensson's journey to understand the eel becomes an exploration of the human condition that delves into overarching issues about our roots and destiny, both as humans and as animals. The result is a gripping and slippery narrative that will surprise and enchant.
