APRIL BOOK
We've selected the short story collection Antarctica by Irish author Claire Keegan (link) for our April meeting and discussion. Keegan's impressive debut was followed by several prize-winning books, including Small Things Like These which was adapted for film just last year. It's Tuesday, April 8 at our regular Zawa Restaurant location (link) for all those interested in an evening of fine food, beverages and booktalk. Opening kickoff at 7pm as usual. The patio may even be a possibility if the spring weather continues to improve.
First published in 1999 and proclaimed "an impressive debut" by William Trevor, Antarctica introduced the world to Claire Keegan, whose short fiction has since captured readers worldwide and established her as "among the form's most masterful practitioners" (New York Times). Now with a revised titular story, this iridescent first collection of stories draws readers into a world of obsession and betrayal in Keegan's singular, commanding and award-winning prose.
