Contemporary Classics - Idaho - CANCELLED

Pat Holt's monthly book discussion group

Wednesday, January 8, 2020 - 6:30pm

Point Reyes Station, CA 94956

Tickets: 

$90 for 5-book series; $20 for individual session

January's book club meeting has been cancelled. It will resume in February.

 

Patricia Holt, former book editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, continues her popular book group, “Contemporary Classics.”

A book should stand the test of time before becoming a classic, but very often, critics and literary judges leap to praise books as “instant classics” soon after publication. These are the titles Pat’s group will hold up to scrutiny—in fact, the chewier, more literary, more dense, and "hard to read" the better. One needn't have read widely, studied literature, or learned about literary criticism to join. Just drop in or join us for the whole series, and let the developing wisdom of the group be your only guide.

Dates:
 
September 4: Milkman by Anna Burns

October 2: Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin

November 6: There There by Tommy Orange

December 4: Kudos by Rachel Cusk 

January 8: Idaho by Emily Ruskovich
