June 2 meeting

Our next meeting will be June 2, to replace the 4th Friday in May, which is a holiday.

Hostess - Fran
Books - Denise
Facilitatress - um, well, Rachel won't be there, so we are on our own. 😁

This month, we are reading Summertime, by J.M. Coetzee.

Publishers Review says this:

Nobel laureate and two-time Booker-winner Coetzee has been shortlisted for the third time for this powerful novel, a semisequel to the fictionalized memoirs Boyhood and Youth that takes the form of a young biographer's interviews with colleagues of the late author John Coetzee.

Contra Costa County Library summary says this:

A young biographer investigates the life of the late South African writer John Coetzee. And so a two-time Booker Prize winner investigates his own life. Bound to be brilliant; my fiction favorite.

There are seven copies in the CCC library, 4 of them currently available on the shelf. Recommend you order NOW if you want to reserve a copy. It doesn't seem to be available in audio -- let us know if you find any cd's!!
