Sorry, I know it’s groan-worthy, but I couldn’t resist.
We’ll be meeting at 8 Dec. 17 at Claire’s to talk about Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight. Teresa and Charlotte will be joining us by Skype, a Makioka first!
Optional: Read about Edward’s ancestors in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla, and/or various vampire stories by Arthur Canon Doyle. If you don’t have a chance to get to the library, you can read them online, since they are all in the public domain (for those who can recall our Moveable Feast copyright discussion).
Not everyone will be able to make this impromptu, added meeting. Our next regularly scheduled meeting will be January 14 at Beth’s where we will discuss Paul Auster’s Travels in the Scriptorium. As a few of us noted, Edeet’s astute take on Auster was validated in last week’s New York Times Book Review piece on Auster’s most recent book.
Thank you Claire for hosting a wonderful discussion around the two editions of A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway.
A. E. Hotchner wrote a New York Times Op-Ed in July of this year about how he was with Hem when he discovered notebooks left at the Ritz in Paris with writings about the places, people and events of living in Paris in the 1920s. There is also an article from June describing the ‘recast’ edition.
Here is an article from the Atlantic and another about Mariel Hemingway optioning the rights for film & TV. There’s another movie about Hemingway and his work.
Read the original or new edition of A Moveable Feast
“A Moveable Feast”, by Hemmingway, which was recently the subject of a controversy because his grandson rewrote parts & had it republished as he didn’t think it portrayed his grandmother in a favorable light
We’ll met at Claire’s at 8 Nov. 12 to talk about the book, various changes, etc.
Then for the next meeting we’ll be reading Paul Auster’s Travels in the Scriptorium, tentatively Jan 14 at Beth’s house….
