Book and Film Club: Vera or Faith
November 4 @ 1:30 pm
Led by Cynthia Good
Cynthia Good reviews Vera or Faith by Gary Steyngart. Light refreshments will be served. This program will also be available to join over Zoom.
In Vera, or Faith, master satirist Gary Shteyngart delivers a compressed, powerful coming-of-age tale. The story centres on Vera, a precocious ten-year-old dealing with the fallout of her parents’ divorce. At the same time, her country is sliding into authoritarian rule, tracked by relentless surveillance.
Seeking comfort, Vera turns to an electronic chess game named Kaspie to help her find her birth mother and make a friend. Written with biting wit and profound tenderness, this novel is a brilliant portrait of modern anxiety and resilient hope.
