Vane Lucas, president of Mathnasium Learning Centers, will review "The Last Day of Night" by Graham Moore. Sponsored by the Friends of the Tulsa City-County Libraries.
Based on actual events, Oscar-winning screenwriter Graham Moore’s novel explores the nature of genius, the cost of ambition and the battle to electrify America. In 1888 New York, young untested lawyer Paul Cravath’s client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the lightbulb? A lot is at stake: the person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune. As Paul takes greater and greater risks to win at any cost, he crosses paths with Nikola Tesla, an eccentric, brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison.
