The Sisters Brothers

Thanks everyone for the enthusiastic reception at our return from the Summer recess last night.  I thoroughly enjoyed the vigorous Station Eleven discussion which moved briskly despite the size of the group.  As I mentioned at the end of the evening, our next meeting is scheduled for October 7th, a slightly quicker than usual turn around as I'm trying to fit it in between a few other commitments.

We are reading The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt, a darkly comic and outrageously inventive work that offers  a decidedly off-center view of the traditional western novel.  I laughed out loud at the terse philosophical musings and staccato banter between two brothers, hired guns, on a manhunt across the California Gold Country.

I hope to see everyone on the 7th at 7pm.
