Book club, Drexel to screen Foer work

Thursday November 17, 2011 2:13 PM

The Bexley Education Foundation’s Bexley Community Book Club in partnership with the Drexel Theatre will host a community presentation at 7 p.m. Nov. 30 of “Everything Is Illuminated,” the film adaptation of the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Foer is BCBC’s 2012 selected author.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with panelists Margaret Quamme, a frequent film and book reviewer for The Columbus Dispatch, and Artie Isaac, a creativity facilitator and instructor at the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business and Columbus College of Art and Design.

The 2005 film “Everything Is Illuminated,” directed by Liev Schreiber and starring Elijah Wood and Eugene Hutz, is the story of a young man’s quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. Critics have called the film, which is rated PG-13, “delightful,” “weird,” “charming” and “heartbreaking.”

Tickets are $7 for adults and $6 for seniors and students. For tickets and additional information, visit the website at www.drexel.net or go to the Drexel box office. Tickets will be available at the door, and books will be available for purchase at the screening.
