First WTML Wednesdays Book Discussion, Wednesday, October 7, 7pm. This month’s selection is ‘The Flame Throwers’ by Rachel Kushner. “Kushner’s brilliant lightning bolt of a novel straddles two revolutions: the squatter-artist colonization of Manhattan’s SoHo in the 1970s, and the rise of Italy’s radical left during the same period. Its young artist narrator, Reno, is wistful and brutally candid at once, with a voice like a painting — lush and evocative — but also like a scythe.” ~ NPR review of Books
