The next BOOK CLUB meeting is on:-
DECEMBER 13th with “Less Than Zero” by Bret Easton Ellis’s first novel (1985); a tale of disaffected, rich 80’s teenagers in Los Angeles & their descent into the netherworld of the L.A. drug scene & amoral party culture. The ending is quite shocking but in a way inevitable. It is a short novel , written in a flat, almost psychopathic style which cleverly reflects the emotional alienation of Clay, the main protagonist, who is losing faith in his friends, relationships & his materialistic parents.
FEBRUARY 14th 2010 “The Corrections ” by Jonathan Franzen (2001) His first novel & winner of 2001's National Book Award, Intense ,supremely intelligent & comic ; a big,modern book about a dysfunctional American family , commerce , education, crime & much more !
