In February, we read Washington Black by Esi Edugyan. We had mixed feelings. Most thought that perhaps the novel was too long and wandering. Some of the surrealism was a bit of a stretch for some of our members, for others, it was read as a tale. The relationship between Titch and Washington was unusual and provided good material for discussion!“There could be no belonging for a creature such as myself, anywhere,” Wash says, “a black boy with a scientific turn of mind and a talent on canvas, running, always running, from the dimmest of shadows.”
In March, we will read Milkman by Anna Burns. Cindy will cook and serve at Chrysanne's on March 20th!
