OBOC Evening Book & Movie Discussion

The Dog Stars by Peter Heller

Registration for this program begins on December 6. A post-apocalyptic book, The Dog Stars explores themes of connection, isolation, and the lengths people will go for discovery. R

This book discussion is hosted in conjunction with the Evening Movie: The Dog Stars on Monday, January 18. Participants are encouraged to read the book, but it is not required. Feel free to attend even if you've only seen the movie.

Hig's wife is gone, his friends are dead, and he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, Jasper, and a mercurial, gun-toting misanthrope named Bangley.

But when a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail, only to find something that is both better and worse than anything he could ever hope for.

R = Registration required.
