About this Event
The Short and Satisfying Book Club led by Georgia Court is for those looking for a shorter read that is ripe for discussion. January's selection is Address Unknown by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, a rediscovered classic and international bestseller than recounts the gripping tale of a friendship destroyed at the hands of Nazi Germany.
We will meet in person at our store location at The Mark, 117 S. Pineapple Ave. The book club is $16.99 which includes a copy of Address Unknown to be picked up at Bookstore1 any time before our meeting.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In this searing novel, Kathrine Kressmann Taylor brings vividly to life the insidious spread of Nazism through a series of letters between Max, a Jewish art dealer in San Francisco, and Martin, his friend and former business partner who has returned to Germany in 1932, just as Hitler is coming to power.
Originally published in Story magazine in 1938, Address Unknown became an international sensation. Credited with exposing the dangers of Nazism to American readers early on, it is also a scathing indictment of fascist movements around the world and a harrowing exposé of the power of the pen as a weapon.
A powerful and eloquent tale about the consequences of a friendship—and society—poisoned by extremism, Address Unknown remains hauntingly and painfully relevant today.
