Book Club Meeting April 1, 2015

"We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves” by Karen Joy Fowler provided the basis for a lively and far reaching discussion. The story of human Rosemary and her chimpanzee “sister” led to consideration of animal rights, dysfunctional families and the reason for narrator began in the middle, with no mention of Fern being a chimp.  That the author began in the middle of the story did sometimes make the story a bit disjointed, but that became a path to discussion of how the separate memories of the narrator informed the development of the novel.  There were many thought provoking comments from all who participated in the meeting.
 
Our next read will be: “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells” by Andrew Sean Greer. It is available in paperback, electronically, and through libraries. You might enjoy reading this review in the New York Times:   We look forward to our discussion Wednesday, June 3 at 1:30 pm.  Meetings are held the Richardson Library, Room 115; bring a brown bag lunch if you would like to join us at 1 pm.  Contact Kathryn DeGraff or Helen Marlborough






Titles suggested for further consideration:
“Archangel” by Andrea Barrett
“Some Luck” by Jane Smiley
“Stoner” by John Williams
