The Dog Ear Book Club will be reading Jim Harrison’s latest novel, The English Major for our next meeting on Dec. 7th at 7 p.m.
Here’s a bit on the book:
“It used to be Cliff and Vivian and now it isn’t.” With these words, Jim Harrison sends his sixty-something protagonist, divorced and robbed of his farm by a late-blooming real estate shark of an ex-wife, on a road trip across America, armed with a childhood puzzle of the United States and a mission to rename all the states and state birds to overcome the banal names men have given them. Cliff’s adventures take him through a whirlwind affair with a former student from his high school-teacher days twenty-some years before, to a “snake farm” in Arizona owned by an old classmate; and to the high-octane existence of his son, a big-time movie producer in San Francisco.
As always, anyone is welcome to attend the book club and enjoy some wine and literary conversation. Copies of the book are now available at a discount of 10%.
Hope to see you there.
