wed may 19, 2-3:30: priestdaddy book group on zoom

Picture
Join the discussion of  poet Patricia Lockwood's unique memoir, Priestdaddy.  Yes, a Catholic priest father. Lockwood pivots from the raunchy to the sublime, from the comic to the deeply serious, exploring issues of belief, belonging, and self. Priestdaddy is an entertaining, unforgettable portrait of a deeply odd religious upbringing, and how one balances a hard-won identity with the weight of family and tradition.  Winner of several book awards, including one for humor, and placed on many best books list in 2017. Clarice Stasz will moderate and send advance information to those on the mailing list.

 All welcome to participate. To get the Zoom invite, write to Joann Borri, joannborri@gmail.com

wed june 16, 2 pm: book club zoom the dutch house

Picture
 Kathy Andrews selected and will moderate this month's choice. Set over the course of five decades, Anne Patchett's  The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested.

Highly recommended is Tom Hanks narration of the book in audible form.
