Discussion with Shelby Van Meter

Shelby Van Meter will lead this book group discussion. The novel is a fast-paced tale of two vibrant inner worlds. In winding sentences gorgeously translated, the prolific French author De Kerangal weaves the story of two unlikely souls entwined in a quest for freedom with a striking sense of tenderness – a sharp contrast to the brutal world around them. Racing toward Vladivostok on a Trans- Siberian train with other Russian conscripts, we meet the young Aliocha. Soon after boarding, he decides to desert and over a midnight smoke in a dark corridor of the train, he encounters an older French woman, Hélène, for whom he feels an uncanny trust. The complicity and plot thickens from there, as both protagonists struggle with their inner landscapes. 

Discussing Patrick’s new book Apple in China

Named by both The New York Times and The Economist as one of the best books of the year, this impeccable reporting portrays how Apple allowed itself to become dependent on China for a huge percentage of its manufacturing, making it vulnerable and unwittingly laying the groundwork for the Asian superpower to rival the US in technological expertise.

Patrick McGee was the Financial Time’s principal Apple reporter from 2019 to 2023, having first worked for the newspaper in Hong Kong in 2013.

Ker Gibbs has lived in Asia for most of the last 30 years and is the author of Selling to China.

We will be discussing Hotel Ukraine By Martin Cruz Smith

In Memorium. Martin Cruz Smith passed away peacefully last month...on July 12, just days after Hotel Ukraine published on July 8th. This truly is the final Arkady Renko Novel. Martin was 82 years old and had been living courageously with Parkinson’s for 30 years. As his daughter Luisa Cruz Smith said: "His death leaves a silence, but not a void... he will live in our hearts forever." And on our bookshelves. From Gorky Park on, his canon of work will always remain at the top of its genre.

Written by veteran music journalists, this engrossing tale tracks how the greatest music of the 1970s was recorded at the Record Plant studios (much of it in Sausalito), including, in 1976 alone, three No. 1 albums: Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, the Eagles’ Hotel California, and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours.

Rumor has it this may also be a reunion for some of the musical legends who recorded at The Plant.
