Pageturners presents-Proof: A Play by David Auburn
Book Discussion

September 24
2:30 – 3:30 p.m.
BTC120

Join Pageturners for its September Book Discussion on Proof: A Play. One of the most acclaimed plays of its time, Proof is a work that explores the unknowability of love as much as it does the mysteries of science.

It focuses on Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her father, Robert, a brilliant mathematician in his youth who was later unable to function without her help. His death has brought into her midst both her sister, Claire, who wants to take Catherine back to New York with her, and Hal, a former student of Catherine’s father who hopes to find some hint of Robert’s genius among his incoherent scribblings. The passion that Hal feels for math both moves and angers Catherine, who, in her exhaustion, is torn between missing her father and resenting the great sacrifices she made for him. For Catherine has inherited at least a part of her father’s brilliance–and perhaps some of his instability as well. As she and Hal become attracted to each other, they push at the edges of each other’s knowledge, considering not only the unpredictability of genius but also the human instinct toward love and trust.

Staring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal and Hope Davis.

Pageturners Book Discussion-Outpatients: The Astonishing New World of Medical Tourism by Sasha Issenberg

October 22
2:30 -3:30 p.m.
BTC120

Join Pageturners Book Discussion the book Outpatients: The Astonishing New World of Medical Tourism.

Need surgery? You better travel.

Globalization produces a lot of odd results around the world. One of them is that Hungary has become the dentistry capital of Europe: thanks to aggressive marketing campaigns and heavy government support, more people go there for dental care than to any other country in Europe. The towns of Mosonmagyaróvár and Sopron boast the highest concentrations of dental clinics in the world.

The story of how Hungary became Europe’s dental chair is a case study in the booming practice of medical tourism. It is a rapidly growing business, as patients go in search of lower prices, and some countries have found economic opportunity in turning health care into a global trade. An American with insurance can expect to pay $90,000 for a heart bypass in the U.S., but only $12,000 if he or she travels to Thailand.

The question is whether medical tourism represents the future of health care, which traditionally has been a core responsibility of national governments. Sasha Issenberg’s acclaimed books, The Sushi Economy and The Victory Lab, were early in identifying changes in the way the world works. A brilliant journalist with a keen eye for significant trends, he now turns his talents to medical tourism, and gives us a funny, vivid, wise narrative that will change the way you think about health care.

Pageturners presents-Three Summers by Amra Sabic El-Rayess with Laura L. Sullivan
Book Discussion

November 12
12-1 p.m.
BTC 120

Join Pageturners for a book discussion of Three Summers. Three Summers is the story of three sisters growing up in the countryside near Athens before the Second World War. Living in a big old house surrounded by a beautiful garden are Maria, the oldest sister, as sexually bold as she is eager to settle down and have a family of her own; beautiful but distant Infanta; and dreamy and rebellious Katerina, through whose eyes the story is mostly observed. Over three summers, the girls share and keep secrets, fall in and out of love, try to figure out their parents and other members of the tribe of adults, take note of the weird ways of friends and neighbors, worry about and wonder who they are. Karen Van Dyck’s translation captures all the light and warmth of this modern Greek classic.

Pageturners Movie Screening of Quo Vadis Aida (2020)

November 19
12 p.m.
MC100 B&C

Join Pageturners for a Movie Screening of Quo Vadis Aida. Aida is a translator for the UN in the small town of Srebrenica.
