Join us to discuss Autumn by Ali Smith.

Autumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Two old friends—Daniel, a centenarian, and Elisabeth, born in 1984—look to both the future and the past as the United Kingdom stands divided by a historic, once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won, love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round, as ever. A luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harvest and worth, Autumn is the first installment of Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet, and it casts an eye over our own time: Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearean jeu d’esprit, Keatsian melancholy, the sheer bright energy of 1960s pop art. Autumn is wide-ranging in time-scale and light-footed through histories. (From the publisher)

Copies of the book are available here. Ebook and eaudiobook copies are available through Digital Library of Illinois or the Libby app. The eaudiobook is always available through Hoopla

For those who would like to purchase a copy of Autumn, please support our local independent bookstore, The Book Stall at 811 Elm Street in Winnetka.
