 |
| Dave Fouts |
|
Was this it? is a mix of prose, prose poetry, and poems. Fouts calls this genre style slipstream, a crossover of science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction. He tries to answer questions like: why do you pat your dear aunt on the head like a cocker spaniel, why is it necessary to give your hamburger a personal name or what does your soul look like? He will also tackle topics dealing with loneliness, loss, experiences in isolated villages with failing missionaries, army life in Korea, and time spent on the moon.

Read or re-read a classic:
|
:
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy 
Several of us in our Fiction book club decided we wanted to read and discuss
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I haven't read it since high school (this is Joy) and I'm looking forward to seeing what my adult self thinks of this book that I loved in high school. If you want an excuse to read or re-read a classic, you've got some time. We will meet to discuss on
Wednesday, November 15th at 5 pm over happy hour at Kenichi's.
