Looking forward to a good meeting next Wednesday night in the Used Book Cellar. As always, if you plan to attend can you please shoot me a note to let me know so that I can get the room appropriately configured and provisioned. Thank you.Also in anticipation of our discussion, I'm attaching a link to a fun article from a year or so ago in which Jennifer Egan and George Saunders discuss writing styles.
The Future Issue
Choose Your Own Adventure: A Conversation With Jennifer Egan and George Saunders
By JENNIFER EGAN and GEORGE SAUNDERS
Two fiction writers known for their mind-bending imaginations discuss the business of envisioning the future.
I was touched by the overwhelming response to my "quick survey." I heard from almost everyone and many of you took the opportunity to write thoughtful supportive messages about the quality of the group and conversation. (A few of you also wrote about the quality of the whisky!) I'll announce the next book shortly, but I'm happy to have an excuse to re-read it and excited about sharing and discussing it with our Group.
Lastly, those of you who were reading and discussing author Yu Hua last summer may want to check out Mark Cecil's post To Live: Yu Hua's Brief Masterpiece on the Grub Street blog.
