At yesterday's discussion of the book Triangle by Katharine Weber, one of the evening participants suggested that Esther changed identities with Pauline after the fire. Do you agree?
Also, many who attended the discussion thought that there was too much about George Botkin and his music and found it distracted from the story. Why was it in there?
We can ask Katharine Weber these and other questions when she speaks at the Library on Wednesday, November 15 at noon.
An aside: One of the evening participants works in the building where the fire occurred. She told us how every March 25th, flowers are placed on the sidewalk to commemorate the fire.

Katharine Weber's book Triangle certainly raised more questions than it answered. I am looking forward to hearing the author speak on Nov 15, and I'm also interested in listening to George Botkin's work.

For anyone with a keen interest in music, George Botkin was the best part!
I actually found it more interesting than the Triangle story, because of the many repetitions of almost the same story of the day of the fire. Admittedly somewhat arcane, the composing based on DNA, etc. fascinated me. Weber writes strong characters & she tied the strands of various means of identity together in interesting ways.
