SUMMARY:Paradise City Readers: Kairos
DESCRIPTION:Respectful\, queer/LGBT-friendly\, easy-going bunch who want an 
 excuse to get out more and talk about books. And have some snacks. Meetings 
 take place on the first Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. You can reach our 
 group at paradisecityreaders@gmail.com. \n\nThis month's discussion will be 
 about Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck. \n\nAbout the book: \n\nJenny Erpenbeck 
 (the author of Go\, Went\, Gone and Visitation) is an epic storyteller and 
 arguably the most powerful voice in contemporary German literature. 
 Erpenbeck's new novel Kairos-an unforgettably compelling masterpiece tells 
 the story of the romance begun in East Berlin at the end of the 1980s when 
 nineteen-year-old Katharina meets by chance a married writer in his fifties 
 named Hans. Their passionate yet difficult long-running affair takes place 
 against the background of the declining GDR\, through the upheavals wrought 
 by its dissolution in 1989 and then what comes after. In her unmistakable 
 style and with enormous sweep\, Erpenbeck describes the path of the two 
 lovers\, as Katharina grows up and tries to come to terms with a not always 
 ideal romance\, even as a whole world with its own ideology disappears.\n\n
