ELLIOTT BAY BOOK GROUP
Tuesday, November 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Each month, the Elliott Bay Book Club reads and discusses the best in contemporary fiction with the occasional classic thrown in for good measure. Our November read is Game Control by Lionel Shriver. The New Statesman and Society says, "Game Control mixes dark comedy, intellectual sparring, doomsday thrills, and psychological scrutiny in a bold and bracing cocktail....Shriver skirts the edge of tragedy with superb aplomb. Her speculations chill the blood; her language glistens with a diamond-hard wit." Shriver's novel is about a do-gooder American family-planning worker who goes to Kenya to "help" the poor. Shriver won the 2005 Orange Prize for her novel, We Need to Talk About Kevin.
