Tale for One City 2010!

This year's title is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time !
Blog participants are the first to hear which title has been selected! Here is a quick summary of this summer's novel:

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

Christopher is autistic; he navigates life on its myriad levels by way of mathematical equations and the laws of physics—everything at face value with no understanding of human emotion or motivation. There’s a lot he doesn’t understand—and so many reasons why no one understands him. How on earth will he ever solve a murder mystery?

Mark Haddon writes so that we truly see the world through Christopher’s eyes—his quirkiness becomes lovable, and we ache for him and know his fears. Haddon offers us a rare opportunity to step into someone else’s shoes, see through his eyes, and think with his mind; we can’t help but walk away changed by the experience.

  1. I'm very excited for this book choice, mostly because I have not read it yet. Also, I hope there are some good discussions both here and live in the community.
