It is May and we read a novel written by a local author, Stephen Kiernan. In fact, he lived on the same street as one of our members! We might even get a chance to talk to him about his thoughts about writing
Universe of Two. We had a good discussion. Different readers had different perspectives. We agreed that is is tricky to narrate as another gender, but the author's narration when he spoke as Brenda seemed authentic. Sometimes it is great to focus as a group on a period of time in history and an event. We spent most of our time talking about events of World War II that we previously had not considered such as the mass suicides after Germany surrendered, the actions of the Red Army and the attitudes of those in charge towards the power of the atomic bomb and its devastating consequences. Thanks, Terry for a good suggestion!
Next month, June 22nd we are meeting at Ed's house at an earlier time- 5 PM! Details around food to be discussed later. We are reading
True Biz by Sara Novic.
