SUMMARY:Beyond Fiction Book Club - The Wager by David Grann
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss this month's Beyond Fiction Book Club selection\, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck\, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann.  Books will be available to check out at the Adult Help Desk.  If you need help acquiring a book\, please reach out to Jill Morino at jmorino@wauclib.org.  \n\nREGISTER\n\nFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon\, a page-turning story of shipwreck\, survival\, and savagery\, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on the Wager\, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial\, but the very idea of empire.\n\nThe Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann's recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O'Brian\, his portrayal of the castaways' desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing\, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann's work\, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound.
