This year’s twelve highly praised readings will be three novels based on each of four regions: Asia, the Caribbean, South America and the USA. Almost all of the writers are from the regions they write about. Click here to see the list of books. This will be a Zoom-based course that will meet only monthly from September 2021 thru August 2022 (Sept 27, Oct 25, Nov 29, Dec 27, Jan 31 (2022), Feb 28, Mar 28, Apr 25, May 30, Jun 27, Jul 25, Aug 29). Each meeting will be a group discussion of that month’s novel. If coronavirus conditions change, we may switch to classroom use at some point in the year. Format: Presentations will be encouraged but not required. Each meeting will begin with one participant’s brief observations about the novel as well as questions meant to stimulate discussion. Resources/Expenses: Expenses for Club members each month will be modest but variable. Most readings will be available from public libraries, but also inexpensively from Amazon or other sources. No additional expenses will be required.
