McCann Book Club Tonight/Last Day for Bergian Essay Contest

Tonight is our book discussion for Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin. I am about halfway through the book and love, love, love it. So beautiful. It reminds me of (and I apologize for another Project Runway reference) Jonathan Peters when he was defending his fabric that the judges referred to as a dirty tablecloth. What's wrong with inspiring sadness? The judges do not read much.

Next month is Jayne Anne Phillips' Lark and Termite.
