On Thursday, April 27, Alan Lightman, author of Einstein’s Dreams, will join the discussion at Volumes, the MoMath book club.

A modern classic, Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, when he worked in a patent office in Switzerland. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. In poetic vignettes, this book explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and, ultimately, the fragility of human existence.

Refreshments will be served.
