We will discuss this year’s gold medal winner for fiction, The Age of Perpetual Light by Josh Weil. Please join us to participate in an insightful discussion of this stellar collection of stories that explores themes of progress, the pursuit of knowledge and humankind’s eternal attempt to decrease the darkness in the world. Beginning at the dawn of the past century in the early days of electrification and moving into an imagined future in which the world is lit day and night, this gold-medal winner follows deeply felt characters through different eras in American history. 

The Reading Californians Book Discussion Group meets the first Monday every other month at The Commonwealth Club’s new building to discuss the California Book Awards’ gold and silver medal winners.
