February at Alan's House was a smaller group with Chrysanne in Mexico and Ed unable to make it. Ed's email about the book set the tone for our discussion. He wrote:
I thought Someone was a beautiful book- really a series of connected short stories about a life- exquisite-writing about everyday experience, like Updike without the sex! We all agreed that the character development was lovely. Ordinary people's lives evolving over time in families, in neighborhoods and in the world at large. The concept of the 'someones' in people's lives. Who they are and how important it is to have someone.
Next month gets us into a classic, the first novel of the Alexandria Quartet-Justine by Lawrence Durrell. We are meeting at Terry's for perhaps the last meeting at his house before it is sold! Tuesday, March 28th at 6:45. Shira will be joining us and may even read the book. Mindy told us about a lecture the following evening, March 29th that is part of the Rabbi Max B.
