TUESDAY, October 7th at 7pm: More from BELLWEATHER

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT Connie Willis' Bellweather:

" . . . is about the process of scientific discovery. A Golden Age book about that would have been about a scientist alone in his lab (and I do mean his) discovering something and cheerfully utilising it. A later book about it would have been about a scientist working for the government discovering something and being afraid of how it will be utilised and going undercover with the discovery. But this is a nineties book, and one that specifically references post-modernism and chaos theory. This is a comedy about the process of scientific discovery, and a comedy in the Shakesperean sense as well. It’s funny and satirical...

"I like the story, I like the characters. It’s fast and funny and just outright fun."
