It was just terrific talk with Tony Nelson about
Bound. Speaking to authors always takes interpretation to a new level, but I think authors who are also teachers are the best ones to talk with. They not just excel in their craft, but they are practiced at talking about it.
Lots of recommendations of books from Tony Nelson (ones she likes to teach):
- Revolutionary Road (Richard Yates)
- War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy)
- Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad)
- Passage to India (E.M. Forester)
- So long, see you tomorrow (William Maxwell): One reviewer called this "a small, perfect book."
Bring your copies of the NYT review of books for 2010 if you have it to the January meeting, as we need to pick books!!
