The Freebird Brooklyn Post-Apocalyptic Book Club November Meetup

November's discussion will be Liberation: Being the Adventures of the Slick Six After the Collapse of the United States of America. The author, Brian Francis Slattery, will be on hand to answer questions.

Liberation is a speculation on life in near-future America after the country suffers an economic cataclysm that leads to the resurgence of ghosts of its past such as the human slave trade. The possible saviors are an unlikely group of international criminals named the Slick Six--none of whom are named Greenspan or Paulson. For additional info about the book and Brian Francis Slattery, check out this recent interview on the Huffington Post.

The next month's pick is John Wyndham's classic novel The Chrysalids, just being reissued by the New York Review of Books.

Directions: Bergen stop of the F train--approx. 8 blocks to the waterfront (http://www.freebirdbo.... The B61 bus also stops directly in front of the store.

Book discussions take place at the store (on the Brooklyn waterfront of Cobble Hill/Red Hook) at 7:30 pm.

Monthly meetings will revolve around a particular post-apocalyptic theme (nuclear annihilation, ecological catastrophe, pestilence, alien invasion...you get the idea).
