Washington Black

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!
