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.

Today is the last day to submit entries in our Elizabeth Berg-inspired The Last Time I Saw You essay contest:

--500 words
--reunion inspired
--original

Send to thelasttimeisawyou@boswellbooks.com. We have enough entries that we actually have to do some pre-judging!
