DESCRIPTION:The Short Stack is a laid-back book club for those who love to
  read without the page count pressure. We will explore short stories, nove
 llas, and bite-sized non-fiction—all around 200 pages. Perfect for busy 
 schedules, short attention spans, or anyone who just wants to read more wi
 thout the time commitment. This month we will be reading: Intimacies by K
 atie Kitamura&quot; A translator comes to The Hague to work at the Interna
 tional Court. A woman who speaks many languages, has many identities and i
 s looking for a place that can become her home. Caught between an adventur
 e that seems to fall apart and a job that she performs perfectly, the prot
 agonist&#039;s life, seemingly banal, is like a mirror with two faces. The
  most intense challenge, which threatens to shake her world to its foundat
 ions, comes when she has to represent a dictator tried for crimes against 
 humanity as a translator in a trial.A woman of quiet passions, the heroine
  of the book thus comes to face, both professionally and personally, with 
 power, love and violence. Soon, betrayal and suffering risk overwhelming h
 er, forcing her to decide what she wants from life.&quot;Goodreads.comCopi
 es of the book will be available at the Information Desk.
