APRIL BOOK
April's book will be Falling Man by the prolific contemporary American author Don DeLillo (https://www.amazon.com/Falling-Man-Novel-Don-DeLillo/dp/1416546065/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NP615I3O6OS4&keywords=falling+man+don+delillo&qid=1552273347&s=gateway&sprefix=falling+man+%2Caps%2C288&sr=8-1). Join us on Tuesday, April 2 at the Sylvia Hotel Lounge for some spirited discussion while enjoying some tasty morsels and imbibing a few choice beverages. Bring your friends, family, accountant... new members are always welcome. (Yes, we have reverted back to the Lounge. The Sylvia has abandoned their Tuesday live music sessions. Apparently our withering looks and whingeing had the desired effect. Consequently, the Sylvia's Dining Room is once again safe for visiting royalty.)
There is September 11 and then there are the days after, and finally the years.
Falling Man is a magnificent, essential novel about the event that defines turn-of-the-century America. It begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and tracks the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people. Brave and brilliant, Falling Man traces the way the events of September 11 have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world. It is cathartic, beautiful, heartbreaking.
