The Odyssey Open Fiction Book Group

This literary fiction discussion group is led by Odyssey bookgroup coordinator Elli Meeropol. The evening group usually meets on the third Monday (at 7 p.m., but sometimes we move it forward to 6 p.m., to be able to meet with an author before a reading and booksigning.) The daytime group has been suspended for the summer; if there is interest we'll begin meeting again in the fall. 

  Upcoming selections:

August 18, 7 p.m. - Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje

September 15, 7 p.m. - Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones
