Gibson's Book Club reads Visit from the Goon Squad

Monday, June 4, 2012, at 7 PM

The winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, beating out Franzen's Freedom in both cases in highly publicized and controversial contests, Visit from the Goon Squad was one of the most important novels of 2010.  A novel in the form of loosely linked short stories, Goon Squad paints
rich and compelling portraits of some self-destructive but entertaining
characters as they grope their way through life and the modern music
business, which is delineated hilariously in all its comic majesty. 

So which novel is better, Freedom or Goon Squad? How do we judge these matters? Attend our May and June meetings to hash it all out.

Charles Simic at Gibson's Friday at 7. June 13th, 2013

Charles Simic, one of our finest poets, is also a master of prose and one of America's foremost intellectuals. It will be an honor to welcome him to Gibson's for the first time--on Friday, June 14, at 7 PM. This is a date change, and it demonstrates that Mr. Simic is also a very generous and understanding person. He moved the date so he wouldn't conflict with a Sharon Olds reading on June 13 in Pittsfield. (New Hampshire sure has a lot of poetic star power. We should never take it for granted.)
Please join us to welcome Charles Simic on June 14.

June 20 at 3 PM: Elizabeth Marshall Thomas!...
