The Museum Book Club encourages visitors to engage with major special exhibitions by reading and discussing a specially selected book with Museum educator, Tori Waldron.
Each of the Book Club meetings begins with refreshments, including a themed snack and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, then Book Club members will partake in a guided discussion of the literature and the displayed art in our galleries.
HIGH COUNTRY
The Museum Book Club will feature a guided discussion of High Country by Nevada Barr in the exhibition galleries at OKCMOA on March 6 from 5:30-7 pm.
“It’s fall in the Sierra Mountains, and Anna Pigeon is slinging hash in Yosemite National Park’s historic Ahwahnee Hotel. Four young people, all seasonal park employees, have disappeared, and two weeks of work by crack search-and-rescue teams have failed to turn up a single clue; investigators are unsure as to whether the four went AWOL for reasons of their own – or died in the park. Needing an out-of-park ranger to work undercover, Anna is detailed to dining room duty; but after a week of waiting tables, she knows the missing employees are only the first indication of a sickness threatening the park. Her twenty-something roommates give up their party-girl ways and panic; her new restaurant colleagues regard her with suspicion and fear. Yet when Anna’s life if threatened and her temporary supervisor turns a deaf ear, she follows the scent of evil, taking a solo hike up a snowy trial to the high country, seeking answers. What awaits her is a nightmare of death and greed – and perhaps her final adventure.”
