Come join us to discuss literary royalty Margaret Atwood’s new book! Love it, hate it? Tell us why over a glass or two at the Jericho Tavern! Here’s the gist:
Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of economic and social collapse. Living in their car, surviving on tips from Charmaine’s job at a dive bar, they’re increasingly vulnerable to roving gangs, and in a rather desperate state. So when they see an advertisement for the Positron Project in the town of Consilience—a ‘social experiment’ offering stable jobs and a home of their own—they sign up immediately. All they have to do in return for this suburban paradise is give up their freedom every second month, swapping their home for a prison cell.
Where and when: Jericho Tavern at 6.30pm on 10th May
