Description

Time for something just a bit different; join us in closing out our summer semester by discussing a very “smiley” book from Jane Smiley. Yes, the author who has won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Award, and lots more, has taken a turn for the whimsical. Even if talking animals aren’t your usual fictional fare, in the words of Publisher’s Weekly “Relentlessly upbeat … this is the perfect book for those for whom the real world, wracked with pandemic and politics, has become something to avoid.” at least for a while as you read and we discuss this playful book. Please read the book so you can participate in our structured, facilitated, Zoom discussion.  Author: Jane Smiley, 2020.

(Note: Please join the meeting at 3 pm if you would like some assistance using the features of Zoom.  Otherwise, join us at 3:15 pm for the start of our discussion.)
