Death With Interruptions

Description
Action Items - US Campaign for Palestinian Rights  Action Items - Jewish Voices for Peace November's prompt is to read a book about death and Corinne's pick is Jose Saramago's Death With Interruptions. This book is about an unnamed country where suddenly one New Year's, death stops happening. It reads like a textbook at times, going over logistical issues and government responses, with a sprinkling of regular people's reactions to no one dying. And then, in the third act, death enters the picture. Content warning: death Our next book discussion will be The Yield by Tara June Winch. You can find it at your local bookstore or library and read along with us. And to finish off the year, in December we'll be reading Ice by Anna Kavan and Y/N by Esther Yi.  If you want to read along with The Bookstore Challenge 2023, you can find Instagram graphics for your story or grid in this Google Drive folder.
