DESCRIPTION:Sun, Nov 5, 2017: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\nSunday Morning at the Marxist 
 Library\nModerator: Raj Sahai\n•	Lew Finzel & Urszula Wislanka: China 
 Mieville’s “October:” Book Review in Two Parts\nABSTRACT: “October 
 is still ground zero for arguments about fundamental radical social change. 
 Its degradation was not a given, was not written in any stars.” —China 
 Mieville, October. Science fiction writer, China Mieville, has just 
 published October (Verso Press: London, New York, 2017), a story of the 
 1917 Russian Revolution from February to October. Unusually, October does 
 not make the revolution a background for an adventure or love story. The 
 revolution itself, contradictory as it was, is the main character of the 
 book. As with any look at history, the point is not to re-live the past, 
 but to see what can we learn from it. What do we learn from 1917 for 
 today?\nLew Finzel will introduce China Mieville as a science 
 fiction/fantasy writer.\nUrszula Wislanka will take up several of the 
 contradictions and ask where we stand on those questions now.\n\n
