Would anyone like to join a book group? Here’s how it would work. Turns would be taken to select what we were to read – I’d get the ball rolling, but if there are any takers, the first person to get back to me would get next pick. On the last Thursday of every month we would meet in a pub and talk of this and that. Then we would go to The Feathers and sing karaoke. Open discussion of the book would be prohibited: it is undignified to talk publicly about a work of art, especially of its language, symbolism or themes. A whispered “I liked the bit where…” to a neighbour would be acceptable but not officially encouraged.
First up is John Kennedy Toole’s “A Confederacy of Dunces”.
All welcome.
