SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. Receive reminder emails about our meeting by registering below. Registration is not required. \nFor our January meeting\, we will discuss the 2016 Booker Prize winner The Vegetarian by Han Kang\, who recently made history by becoming the first Korean and the first Asian Nobel laureate in literature. \nPlace this title on hold via our online catalog\, or check out the e-book through the CloudLibrary app. \n \nAbout The Vegetarian \nBefore the nightmares began\, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary\, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her\, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence\, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband\, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control\, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate\, subjecting first her mind\, and then her body\, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations\, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous\, bizarre estrangement\, not only from those closest to her\, but also from herself. \nCelebrated by critics around the world\, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical\, Kafka-esque tale of power\, obsession\, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

SUMMARY:Book Launch with "USA Today" Bestselling Author Jennifer Coburn: "The Girls of the Glimmer Factory"
DESCRIPTION:The library\, in partnership with Adventures by the Book\, presents an exclusive pre-release celebration of The Girls of the Glimmer Factory\, the latest novel from Jennifer Coburn\, author of Cradles of the Reich. Set against the backdrop of WWII\, this poignant tale of resistance\, friendship\, and the dangers of propaganda is inspired by the true story of Theresienstadt. \nMeet the author and hear her discuss this moving story about two women on opposite sides of history—Hannah\, a Jewish prisoner fighting to reveal the truth\, and Hilde\, a Nazi loyalist desperate to make a name for herself in the Reich Ministry of Propaganda. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of The Girls of the Glimmer Factory through Adventures by the Book. Please visit adventuresbythebook.com/calendar-event/jennifer-coburn-1-22-25 for more information. \nA New Glimpse Into WWII: “The Girls of the Glimmer Factory” \n \n\nAbout The Girls of the Glimmer Factory: Hannah longs for the days when she used to be free\, but now she is a Jewish prisoner at Theresienstadt\, a model ghetto where the Nazis plan to make a propaganda film to convince the world that the Jewish people are living well in the camps. But Hannah will do anything to show the world the truth. Along with other young resistance members\, they vow to disrupt the filming and derail the increasingly frequent deportations to death camps in the east. \nHilde is a true believer in the Nazi cause\, working in the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda. Though they’re losing the war\, Hilde hasn’t lost faith. She can’t stop the Allied bombings\, but she can help the party create a documentary that will renew confidence in Hitler’s plans for Jewish containment. When the filming of Hitler Gives a City to the Jews faces production problems due to resistance\, Hilde finds herself in a position to finally make a name for herself. And when she recognizes Hannah\, an old childhood friend\, she knows she can use their friendship to get the film back on track. \n\nJennifer Coburn is the author of Cradles of the Reich\, a historical novel about three very different women living at a Nazi Lebensborn breeding home at the start of World War ll. She has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir\, We’ll Always Have Paris\, as well as six contemporary women’s novels. Additionally\, Jennifer has contributed to five literary anthologies\, including A Paris All Your Own. Jennifer lives in San Diego with her husband\, William. Their daughter\, Katie is currently in graduate school. When Jennifer is not going down historical research rabbit holes\, she volunteers with So Say We All\, a live storytelling organization\, where she is a performer\, producer\, and performance coach. She is also an active volunteer with Reality Changers\, a nonprofit that supports low-income high school students in becoming the first in their families to attend college.
