“All I needed for the mind was to be led to new stations. All I needed for the heart was to visit a place of greater storms.”
“In my way of thinking, anything is possible. Life is at the bottom of things and belief at the top, while the creative impulse, dwelling in the center, informs all.”
― Patti Smith, M Train
In 2016 we will be reading memoirs and biographies, the two genres of nonfiction that have been most popular with discussion group members over the years. Several of this year's titles feature an interesting interplay between word and image, and several use an epistolary format, offering us the chance to consider how we narrate our lives through many kinds of texts. Our authors' topics--family, race, history, travel, ambition, vocation and avocation, longing and belonging, loss and mortality--reflect lives lived passionately in the present and recollected with hope and consolation.
We hope you will join us! See the titles and dates posted on the right side of this page.
