Düss-Ruhr Book Club: The Hero of This Book by Elizabeth McCracken

This month, we will be reading The Hero of This Book by Elizabeth McCracken

In her “The Hero of This Book,” Elizabeth tells the story of an unnamed narrator who recently lost her mother, Natalie. Guardian raved about the book stating "In its place we have this, a slim novel that confirms McCracken as among the finest contemporary chroniclers of everyday life.... she combines a blistering intelligence with deep humanity, finding the universal in the most ordinary of details. She is also laugh-out-loud funny. In fewer than 200 pages, and without an ounce of sentiment, she paints an extraordinarily vivid portrait of an extraordinary – and much beloved – mother."

All readers are welcome. RSVP here to receive the meeting information!
