Nino Ricci reads from his novel, "The Origin of Species," presented by Harvard Book Store. In Montreal in the mid-1980's, Alex Fratarcangeli, an awkward, pessimistic, 30-something grad student, has come to view love as an evolutionary surplus. When he reconnects with an old flame who informs him about his 5 year old son he didn't know he had, he starts to see a glimmer of hope. More lectures at http://forum-network.org
