It's the book club with a twist! Enjoy fantastic drinks, a comfortable atmosphere, and a great discussion on a variety of compelling books. Age 21 and up.

This month's selection is Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut, in honor of the Granfalloon annual festival. Our meeting location is Morgenstern's Bookstore and Cafe (849 S. Auto Mall Road, Bloomington). 

Summary:
"Jailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government—and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate’s least known co-conspirator. But the humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razor-sharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times."

This program is in partnership with the Indiana University Arts and Humanities Council.
