DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion of Go\, Went\, Gone by Jenny E

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Please register to join us for an online d
 iscussion of <em>Go\, Went\, Gone</em> by Jenny Erpenbeck.</p>\n<p><em>Go\
 , Went\, Gone</em> tells the tale of Richard\, a retired classics professo
 r who lives in Berlin. His wife has died\, and he lives a routine existenc
 e until one day he spies some African refugees staging a hunger strike in 
 Alexanderplatz. Curiosity turns to compassion and an inner transformation\
 , as he visits their shelter\, interviews them\, and becomes embroiled in 
 their harrowing fates. <em>Go\, Went\, Gone</em> is a scathing indictment 
 of Western policy toward the European refugee crisis\, but also a touching
  portrait of a man who finds he has more in common with the Africans than 
 he realizes. Exquisitely translated by Susan Bernofsky\, <em>Go\, Went\, G
 one</em> addresses one of the most pivotal issues of our time\, facing it 
 head-on in a voice that is both nostalgic and frightening.</p>\n<p>Please
