YPG book to Film Club: The Spectacular Now
Thanks to those of you who joined us for our last film club viewing and discussion of DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?/BLADE RUNNER. Our next YPG Book to Film Club selection is THE SPECTACULAR NOW by Tim Tharp (Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008). In this critically acclaimed coming-of-age story (and National Book Award Finalist), hard-partying high school senior Sutter Keely’s philosophy on life changes when he meets not-so-typical “nice girl” Aimee Finicky. The 2013 movie was one of the most buzzed-about films at the Sundance Film Festival, directed by James Ponsoldt and starring Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley and Kyle Chandler.
The viewing and discussion will take place on Wednesday, April 16th from 7:00-9:00pm at Penguin (375 Hudson Street). You must sign up to attend, so RSVP HERE. Grab your copy of the book now and see you there!
