March magic, April alert

A reminder that March’s pick is The Year of Magical Thinking by essayist Joan Didion, to be led by Fotis. The third Thursday is the 20th.

Big news in April as we are being bumped for the first time ever! At least, as far back as this blogger’s memory runs to, and I go back to 1999.

Yes, our meeting to discuss Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri – introduction by Michel– is being rescheduled for the 24th to make way for a reading by Sharon Butala, a marvelous writer whose work evokes the mysterious canyons and badlands around the magical area of southwestern Saskatchewan bisected by the Frenchman River valley. I definitely plan on hearing Sharon speak, and I encourage everyone to join me.

We hope to record the event as well, so who knows, your intelligent questions may make it on to the podcast and live on for posterity!
