Peninsula Center Book Club

Kate Braverman: The Incantation of Frida K.
April 1 - So deeply immersed is Braverman in Kahlo's electrifying paintings, she has absorbed their colors, imagery, and spirit, and translates them into an anguished yet sublime fever dream in which the sorrows of the caustic, gifted, and omnivorous Kahlo --adorned with flowers, long skirts, corsets supporting her shattered spine, and a perpetually burning cigarette--become the sufferings of every wounded woman. --Booklist
Mario Vargas Llosa: The Way to Paradise : A Novel
May 6 - The noted Peruvian author explores the struggles of two very different people, Paul Gauguin and his grandmother Flora Tristan , in their quest for earthly "paradise"-- he in the idyllic Marquesas Islands, she in France.
