Event Details
The September title is The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis. Adapted into a smash-hit Netflix series, this 1983 novel tells the story of Beth, a chess prodigy in the 1960s who dominates her mostly male opponents as she struggles with drug addiction. Darker--and more exciting--than the TV adaptation, the book is a parable of obsession and commitment, a roller-coaster through the trials and joys of perfectionism. Please contact the Spring Hill Branch for a copy of the book and the discussion questions.
