The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis is a compelling coming-of-age story set in the world of competitive chess. Join a discussion with KPR's Kaye McIntyre & the library's Marie Pyko.
KPR book club host, Kaye McIntyre said, "We got such an enthusiastic response from our first Book Club choice -- Ladybird, Collected by Meg Heriford -- that I knew we had to pick a great book for our second event. I haven't seen The Queen's Gambit on Netflix (yet!), but I've heard a lot of good things about it and I was excited to learn it was based on a novel by Walter Tevis. I always love reading the books that are behind movies and television series, and hope our listeners will join me in this look at the book behind the show." Find more details.
