SciFi Fantasy Book Club: The City We Became

  • Solid State Books 600 H Street Northeast Washington, DC, 20002 United States (map)

Come by for Sci Fi Book Club at Solid State Books, discussing The City We Became by N.K. Jemision . This Book Club meeting will take place in store.

In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn't remember who he is, where he's from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power.

 In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it's as if the paint is literally calling to her.

 In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels.

 And they're not the only ones.

 Every great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York? She's got six.
