BMC Connections
BRYN MAWR BOOK CLUB
On January 13th the Bryn Mawr Book Club will discuss, "Don't Let's Go to the
Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood" by Alexandra Fuller.
From books/bankhacker.com;
“In “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight,” Alexandra Fuller remembers her
African childhood with candor and sensitivity. Though it is a diary of an
unruly life in an often inhospitable place, it is suffused with Fuller’s
endearing ability to find laughter, even when there is little to celebrate.
Fuller’s debut is unsentimental and unflinching but always captivating. In
wry and sometimes hilarious prose, she stares down disaster and looks back
with rage and love at the life of an extraordinary family in an extraordinary
time.”
| WHAT: |
Discussion of "Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African
Childhood" |
| WHEN: |
Thursday January 13, 7:00 pm |
| WHERE: |
Home of Elizabeth Holloway
115 West 86th Street
Apt 3F
212-787-7746 |
To give you a head start, the selection for February is “The Power
of One,” the modern classic by Bryce Courteney set in South Africa during
WWII. The February meeting will be Thursday the 17th at 7:30 pm at
Julie Pomerantz' apartment.
The March selection is "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the
Night-Time"
by Mark Haddon.
