Truro Library Book Group
Wednesday, July 26 at 2:00 p.m.

Freedom by Sebastian Junger

Throughout history, humans have been driven by the quest for two cherished ideals: community and freedom. The two don’t coexist easily. We value individuality and self-reliance, yet are utterly dependent on community for our most basic needs. In this intricately crafted and thought-provoking book, Sebastian Junger examines the tension that lies at the heart of what it means to be human.

"Freedom is less a travelogue than a meditation on what Americans have had to endure to gift us this galvanizing idea, which in Junger’s estimation is more complicated than we might presume and easily squandered." — Los Angeles Times

The Book group is now meeting inside the Library. If you would like to join virtually, please email Maggie (mailto:mhanelt@clamsnet.org?subject=Truro%20Library%20Book%20Group) to receive a Zoom invite.
