“What of our life is mere chance, and what are we determining through the choices we make, our acts of autonomous free will? Are we the wing-fluttering butterfly in the Amazon jungle, or the tornado whose trajectory has, weeks later and hundreds of miles away, been altered by significant degree? Where are we, exactly, in the chain of cause and effect? Are we the designer or the designed?” – Tara Ison, @lareviewofbooks • These are just a few of the questions posed by Joan Silber’s IMPROVEMENT. Our book club will discuss this immaculate novel on Monday, November 5th at 7PM. Join us! • #litsyndicate #joansilber (at Unabridged Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bph_j_WHUH1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1evzrz3x274e4

When is a Turkish rug more than just a rug? When it’s in a novel by Joan Silber. The story here is passed like a baton, from character to character. Everyone gets a turn. #reading #read #igreads #igbooks #instabook #book #improvement #joansilber #love #story #stories #instamood #instamoment #likeforlike #like4like #followforfollow #follow4follow (at New York, New York)

IT’S ABOUT TIME. Joan Silber won the National Book Critics Circle Award last night for her novel Improvement. Struggling artists take heed: For over a decade she couldn’t get published. Everything she writes reflects her generous, even merciful sensibility. @bookcritics #novel #joansilber #love (at New York, New York)
