A plethora of happenings at the Andes Library this summer.

THE MAGICIAN BY Colm Toibi – March 2023

THE MAGICIAN BY Colm Toibi - March 2023

Seventeen years ago, I read Colm Toibin’s fictional biography of Henry James called The Master. It was the best book I’d read in a long time, the marvelously imagined life of a great writer. It got rave reviews. Now, with The Magician, Toibin has done it again, this time with life of Thomas Mann, a work equally persuasive, intimate, and marvelous in its power to compel belief.

BOOK REVIEW: The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson – January 2023

A work of tremendous scope and ambition, this novel dares to imagine what it would take to protect the entire world from environmental collapse.
