OLYMPIA PAGETURNERS BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER
Pageturners begins September 3rd with "The Dante Club" by Matthew Pearl. A literary mystery, "The Dante Club" is about a group of 19th century Bostonians who decide to tranlate Dante's Inferno for an American audience. While doing so they find themselves on the trail of a serial killer who mimics the tortures found in the Inferno. The second choice, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time," will be discussed October 1st. An autistic teen is falsely accused of killing his neighbor's dog. He decides to find the real killer in spite of his handicap. What emerges is not only the solution to the mystery but insight into how his mind works. The selection for November 5th is "Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble and Coming of Age in the Bronx." The title describes the subject matter of this 10 year study by journalist Adrian LeBlanc. The Pageturner meetings are the 1st Friday of the month from 10:00a.m. to noon.
