π˜‰π˜ˆπ˜‹ π˜•π˜ˆπ˜›π˜œπ˜™π˜Œ BY ARIEL COURAGE
Armed with a terminal diagnosis, a grudge, and a rental car, Hester sets out to fulfill her lifelong dream of killing her father in this brilliantly subversive and bleakly funny debut novel.
Ragingly singular and surprisingly moving, π˜‰π˜’π˜₯ π˜•π˜’π˜΅π˜Άπ˜³π˜¦ is a story of stunning detours and twists until its final destination. Part road-trip novel, part revenge tale, part lament for our ongoing ecological crisis, it's ultimately a deft examination of the indulgence of holding grudges, moral ambivalence, and the eternal possibility of redemption.

NCMA W-S BOOK CLUB
How well can we know other people? How well can we know ourselves? This season, NCMA W-S Book Club will explore the theme of questionable characters, delving into these questions through characters with shady pasts, dubious intentions, and murky values.
Book Club is open to the public – even to those who don't finish the book. Selections range from national bestsellers to experimental novels and the guided discussions cover an array of topics, from themes and imagery to plot structures and character development. Book discussions are led by NCMA Winston-Salem Director Bill Carpenter.
