A Perfect Cup of Tea Book Club - The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt

This month’s book is The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt. Tea/Coffee served at 2pm. Discussion at 2:30pm. Please bring your own mug!

Behind Bob Comet's plain facade is the story of an unhappy child's runaway adventure, of true love found and stolen away, of the purpose and pride found in vocation, and the ultimate acceptance of a life lived to the side of the masses.  The Librarianist is a wide-ranging and ambitious homage to the life lived through and for literature. With his inimitable verve, skewed humor, and compassion for the outcast, deWitt celebrates the extraordinary in the so-called ordinary life, and depicts beautifully the turbulence that sometimes exists beneath a surface of serenity.
