Join OLLI Members' Community Read with the Virginia Festival of the Book. NEW!
Want to engage with the Virginia Festival of the Book in a deeper, more interactive way?
Join the OLLI Members' Community Read! We'll be reading Lulu Miller's Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life, discussing the book via Zoom, and then attending the Book Festival's virtual event with the author. A great combination! The OLLI community Read is a free event for Spring 2021 members.
Why Fish Don't Exist is a "remarkable" (Los Angeles Times), "seductive" (The Wall Street Journal) debut from the new cohost of Radionlab. Why Fist Don't Exist is a dark and astonishing tale of love, chaos, scientific obsession, and-possibly-even murder. Part biography, part memoir, part scientific adventure, Why Fish Don't Exist is a wondrous fable about how to perservere in a world where chaors will always prevail.
Once you regster be sure to order the book right away. Our book discussion(s) will be held in early march, just before the Book Festival begins. The discussion group(s) will be scheduled after registration so that they can be small groups. Why Fish Don't Exist is available to order locally at New Dominion Books, 434-295-2552. They will make home deliveries with an 8-mile radius of Downtown.
A signature program of Virginia Humanities and the Virginia Center for the Book, the Virginia Festival of the Book brings readers and writers together for a program of mostly free events including author readings, book signings, panel discussions, programs for children, and more.
