SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: The Art Thief
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Art Thief\, a fascinating true-crime narrative by Michael Finkel. The book tells the story of Stéphane Breitwieser\, the world’s most prolific art thief\, who carried out over 200 heists across Europe. Unlike most thieves\, Breitwieser stole for the pure love of art\, keeping his treasures hidden away to admire rather than sell. With a remarkable ability to bypass security systems\, Breitwieser’s audacious heists are a captivating glimpse into the world of obsession\, crime\, and the desire to possess beauty at any cost. Copies of the book are available at the front desk\, and new members are welcome!

SUMMARY:Author Talk With Ned McMahon: Wisdom and the Baobab Tree
DESCRIPTION:Shelburne resident and UVM professor Ned McMahon\, who is also an international development consultant and former diplomat\, is sharing his first work of fiction with us tonight! Wisdom and the Baobab Tree is about the life\, love and challenges of a somewhat intelligent\, somewhat handsome\, and slightly naïve young American who is drawn into the politics of a fictitious but realistic African country\, drawing on McMahon’s own years of work and life across the continent. This very relevant book tackles themes of both personal and national development\, and the challenges of nurturing a democratic political system in an authoritarian context.
