Laurel-Beltsville Senior Activity Center: BOOK CLUB
Summer 2016 Book Club
Club meets 2nd and 4th Fridays from 2-4pm
June - The Complete Stories by Mary Flannery O’Connor.
This volume established O’Connor’s contribution to American fiction. She presents Southern people
at their best and worst. She has the gift to describe people, surroundings, and life with astonishing
spare prose. There are 31 stories in all. In story after story, she brings her characters to a moment
when it is no longer possible for them to continue in their accustomed manner.
July - The Immigrants by Howard Fast.
Fast paints a picture of what immigrants faced when they came to “the land of plenty.” Some struggled and others worked and worked and succeeded and all created a great America. Set in San Francisco in the late 1880s to the 1930’s, like Gone With the Wind, it has it all: romance, the stock market crash,
WWI, intrigue, the poor becoming rich and the rich becoming poor, wheeling and dealing.
August – A Lady and Her Man by Miller Taylor.
This is a story about a failed high school romance. Loretta and Herschel seem destined for each other
but can’t seem to get it together. It is a romantic odyssey that stands black culture on its head. Loretta
Payne dreams but prays too. Beyond her dreams she insists that people around her do the right thing.
Her high school sweetheart (Herschel Gates) has to learn that there is more to life than shirt-chasing
and hustling. The author weaves a rich story told through the life of a young woman whose integrity
can’t be eaten away even by cancer.
