Catapult Book Club

The next meeting of The Catapult Book Club will come to order on the evening of Thursday, September 9 at 6pm. We will again be meeting in-person at Morley Field in North Park - we'll be discussing the current pick, Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy.

The meeting will again be at Freedom Park at Morley Field in North Park. This is the grassy field to the east of the Bud Kearns Pool complex at Morley Field. If you turn onto Jacaranda Drive off of Upas, it's the grass area right at the end of that T-intersection. We'll have a few folding chairs, but we encourage you to bring your own. 

All Catapult Book Club selections are 20% off until the day of the next meeting. Meetings are very much open to all! 

“Visceral and haunting…As well as a first-rate work of climate fiction, Migrations is also a clever reimagining of Moby-Dick…This novel’s prose soars with its transporting descriptions of the planet’s landscapes and their dwindling inhabitants, and contains many wonderful meditations on our responsibilities to our earthly housemates…Migrations is a nervy and well-crafted novel, one that lingers long after its voyage is over.”

—The New York Times Book Review

"The beauty and the heartbreak of this novel is that it’s not preposterous. It feels true and affecting, elegiac and imminent...The fractured timeline fills each chapter with suspense and surprises, parceled out so tantalizingly that it took disciplined willpower to keep from skipping down each page to see what happens...In many ways, this is a story about grieving, an intimate tale of anguish set against the incalculable bereavements of climate change...Ultimately hopeful."

-The Washington Post
