Discussion Questions for "The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry" by Gabrielle Zevin
·
Consider the setting. Why do you think the author chooses to set the book on an island? How does the island setting reflect A.J.’s character?
·
Lambiase moves from an occasional or nonreader, to a reader, to a bookseller. How do you think becoming a reader changes him? Consider the scene where he decides not to confront Ismay about the backpack. Do you think Lambiase’s reaction is different than it would have been if he hadn’t taken up reading?
·
When did you become aware that Leon Friedman might be an imposter? What did you make of Leonora Ferris’s reasons for hiring him?
·
What do you think the future holds for physical books and bookstores?
·
Contemporary literature often has relatable storylines and characters. Did any of the characters or aspects of the book resonate with you?
