[Hac-announce] Book Discussion Reminder time change is 3:30 this Saturday: ONLINE

[Carol Ritter]

Our book for November is "Nemesis" by Philip Roth.

Note: This month only, start time is 3:30 pm, not the usual 2:30.

>From Amazon:
Set in a Newark neighborhood during a terrifying polio outbreak, "Nemesis" is a wrenching examination of the forces of circumstance on our lives.

Bucky Cantor is a vigorous, dutiful twenty-three-year-old playground director during the summer of 1944. As [a] devastating disease begins to ravage Bucky’s playground, Roth leads us through every inch of emotion such a pestilence can breed: fear, panic, anger, bewilderment, suffering, and pain.

“Roth does an excellent job of conjuring up the fear that polio caused before the arrival of a vaccine. . . . Cantor is one of Roth’s best creations and the atmosphere of terror is masterfully fashioned.” – The Daily Telegraph (UK)
