About the Event
Date and time: Dec 6, 2024 (Fri) 7:30—9:30 PM
Location: 16595 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA 98052 (Eastline Apartment 3F Clubroom)
Topic: Watching Wildlife in East Africa
Capacity: 30 people
— A reading introduction from the speaker —
Many of us remember the documentary images of vast herds of wildebeest making their perilous crossing of the Mara River.
With respect for nature and curiosity about the unknown, I traveled to Tanzania on safari in early September this year, visiting a continent I had never been to before.
Safari once referred to European aristocrats’ hunting expeditions in Africa, often with animals taken home as trophies. Today the camera offers another way to record a journey: taking away nothing but memories.
In this session, I will share what I saw, heard, and thought on the trip, using photographs and video to describe the natural world I encountered.
We will also use a field guide to East African wildlife to identify the animals.
I look forward to seeing you on Friday evening.

About Elsewhere Book Club
Elsewhere Book Club
The name Elsewhere comes from Milan Kundera’s Life Is Elsewhere.
Life Is Elsewhere.
We seem more inclined to imagine a golden age when looking backward or forward. Yet, in my own life, this moment and elsewhere have become inseparable, each giving meaning to the other.
Live fully in this moment. The search for elsewhere also takes place here and now.
I had just arrived in Seattle. In an unfamiliar place, my first impulse was to start a small book club, perhaps to meet others who find steadiness in books and enjoy sustained conversation.

I hope this small space can give us somewhere to exchange ideas each week.
