The October book: "Caramelo" by Sandra Cisneros had enough interesting characters, family drama, and history to make for a fun discussion. It was a great choice for Hispanic Heritage Month. The story took place in Chicago, Mexico City and San Antonio and was narrated by the youngest character, Celaya. "Lala" told the story of her grandmother and then of her own parents, as well as expressing her feelings of being an outsider wherever they lived. Thanks to the members who were able to come.
On November 13 we will view "The Importance of Being Earnest" based on the play by Oscar Wilde. The movie is only 93 minutes long so we will start at our usual time - 7:00 pm - in the Earl Elliott meeting room off the lobby."Comes as close to perfection as any comedy I can think of." - DailyTelegraph.
"Oscar Wilde's "trivial play for serious people" is a sparkling comedy of manners. this hilariously absurd satire pits sincerity against style, barbed witticisms against ostentatious elegance. Wilde's brilliantly constructed plot and famous dialogue enrich the appeal of his celebrated characters, as he turns accepted ideas inside out and situations upsidedown in this, his masterpiece." (HCPL online catalog).
