Consider this your invitation to read and discuss narrative nonfiction with us!  In the Narrative Nonfiction Book Club we will be reading across the genres of nonfiction, from history to adventure, memoir/biography, and beyond with books that read like a novel.

Join us on Saturday, July 12th at 4pm in the Hermann room as we discuss our latest book pick Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves by Nicola Twilley.  For the first portion of book club discussion, author Nicola Twilley will be joining us via Zoom to discuss her book with us!

"In Frostbite, New Yorker contributor and cohost of the award-winning podcast Gastropod Nicola Twilley takes readers on a tour of the cold chain from farm to fridge, visiting off-the-beaten-path landmarks such as Missouri’s subterranean cheese caves, the banana-ripening rooms of New York City, and the vast refrigerated tanks that store the nation’s orange juice reserves.  Twilley’s eye-opening book is the first to reveal the transformative impact refrigeration has had on our health and our guts; our farms, tables, kitchens, and cities; global economics and politics; and even our environment."
