Gastronomy II Book Discussion series
Please join us where we left off last Fall/Winter season with two more works of fiction
and a memoir that explore food, experience, self-perception and moral dilemmas. Book
discussions take place at noon in the Latham Library Community Room and include a
voluntary potluck lunch featuring foods mentioned in or related to the books. To register
and pick up a book, please contact librarian@thetfordlibrary.org.
Thursday, February 20, 2025 – at noon – Land of Milk and Honey, by C Pam Zhang
In a not-so-distant future where human survival is jeopardized by the mass extinction of
the world’s crops and livestock, a young chef takes a job at a well-stocked compound
for the ultra-rich, making food a symbol of extreme inequality and a catalyst of moral
complexity.
