July Book Club: Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess

Since I will be out of town for the July meetup, one of our founding Explorers has agreed to lead the charge. I'm sad to miss it but you will all be in good hands. ABOUT THE BOOK Everything's Fine is the debut novel by Cecilia Rabess, a sharp and poignant story about a Black liberal woman, Jess, and a white conservative man, Josh, who fall into an unlikely romance while working at Goldman Sachs in New York City. Set against the backdrop of a politically fractured America from 2008 to 2016, the book explores themes of race, class, ambition, and identity, questioning if love can overcome deep-seated political and cultural differences, especially as the political landscape shifts with the 2016 election. “Does love conquer all? Does it now? Did it ever? These are questions Cecilia Rabess asks in her nimble, discerning debut…The ending of Everything’s Fine is one of the best I’ve read in years.” —The New York Times

Book 89: Tilt by Emma Pattee

This is another New York Times recommendation: “The most read New Yorker article of 2015 was Kathryn Schulz’s “The Really Big One,” about the potentially devastating Cascadia earthquake that has a 1-in-3 chance of striking the Pacific Northwest within the next 40 years. Taking this very real threat as its knockout premise, Emma Pattee’s debut novel, “Tilt,” is a moving adrenaline rush that also manages to be very funny. Looking forward to reading and discussing this one! -Jessica \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **How it works:** We’ll meet at a local brewery for some drinks and conversation. Finishing the book is not a requirement to attend—as long as you don't mind spoilers! We’ll have an unstructured, informal discussion of the book and the themes that the book brings up. We hope to see you there! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- *Last night, you and I were safe. Last night, in another universe, your father and I stood fighting in the kitchen.* Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there’s nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she’s determined to change her life. “Shocking and full of heart” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Tilt is a “moving adrenaline rush” (The New York Times Book Review) and “epic odyssey” (NPR) about the disappointments and desires we all carry, and what each of us will do for the people we love.
