Join us for this month’s Book Club presentation on Tuesday, October 29th.    The book selected for our October presentation is “Eileen” by Ottessa Moshfegh (2016/ 272 pages).   Graziella Viglione is the presenter.

…Twenty something Eileen Dunlop is bored and unhappy, trapped looking after her alcoholic father, stuck in a dead-end job working at a prison. She livens up her life with sexual fantasies and shoplifting sprees. Her personal hygiene is suspect. Played out against the snowy landscape of coastal New England in the days leading up to Christmas, young Eileen’s story is told from the gimlet-eyed perspective of the now much older narrator. Creepy, mesmerizing, and sublimely funny, in the tradition of Shirley Jackson and early Vladimir Nabokov, this powerful debut novel enthralls and shocks, and introduces one of the most original new voices in contemporary literature…

So, mark your calendars and plan to join us on Tuesday, October 29th.   We meet at the Circolo dei Lettori in Via Giambattista Bogino 9 at 10:30 AM.
