SUMMARY:Paradise City Readers: The Curator
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 The Curator by Owen King. \n\nAbout the book: \n\nIt begins in an 
 unnamed city nicknamed “the Fairest”\, it is distinguished by many 
 things from the river fair to the mountains that split the municipality in 
 half\; its theaters and many museums\; the Morgue Ship\; and\, like all 
 cities\, but maybe especially so\, by its essential unmappability. Dora\, a 
 former domestic servant at the university has a secret desire—to 
 understand the mystery of her brother's death\, believing that the answer 
 lies within The Museum of Psykical Research\, where he worked when Dora was 
 a child. With the city amidst a revolutionary upheaval\, where citizens 
 like Robert Barnes\, her lover and a student radical\, are now in positions 
 of authority\, Dora contrives to gain the curatorship of the half-forgotten 
 museum only to find it all but burnt to the ground\, with the neighboring 
 museums oddly untouched. Robert offers her one of these\, The National 
 Museum of the Worker. However\, neither this museum\, nor the street it is 
 hidden away on\, nor Dora herself\, are what they at first appear to be. 
 Set against the backdrop of an oddly familiar and wondrous city on the 
 verge of collapse\, Dora’s search for the truth will unravel a monstrous 
 conspiracy and bring her to the edge of worlds.\n\n \n\n
