Next up: Friday, May 15th for “Relish” by Lucy Knisley

Portland, Maine - Portland Public Library hosts the Friday Night Book Club on Friday, May 15, in Meeting Room 3 at the Main Library. Doors open at 5:30; discussion starts at 5:45 and generally goes till 7:00 p.m. Friday Night Book Club is for those interested in reading and discussing contemporary fiction written or translated within the last twenty years. Discussions are led by library staff members. 

This month the club will discuss the graphic novel "Relish" by Lucy Knisley. Light refreshments provided.

About the book:

Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. In her forthright, thoughtful, and funny memoir, Lucy traces key episodes in her life thus far, framed by what she was eating at the time and lessons learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is bookended with an illustrated recipe -- many of them treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy's original inventions.

New members are always welcome! Please email hartsig@portlandpubliclibrary.org or call the Reader’s Advisory desk at 871-1700, ext. 705, if you have any questions about the group. This program is free and registration is preferred.
