Homeland Elegies by Ayad Akhtar provoked some great conversation last night as it illustrated some of the most urgent themes in modern American life. But the upcoming federal election was also on our minds. There are only a few more days to go and this election appears to be a nail-biter. Some of us have voted already to avoid pandemic line-ups. No trace of apathy was apparent in our group.
With vaccination uptake on an uptick, we are finally daring to plan an in-person book club event. The date of our next book club is tentatively October 21 and that's when we will be talking about Five Little Indians by Michelle Good. If the pandemic allows we will meet at Jo's house in the backyard at 1 pm. Fingers crossed everyone.
