BookTalk introduces readers to a carefully chosen, provocative selection of novels for reading and informal discussion, considering the author’s writing techniques and the character’s personal journeys. Readings include translations of books from other countries and cultures in the search for fictions that illuminate the lives and understanding of those from all across the globe.
This class focuses on Tell Me Everything (2024) by Elizabeth Strout. Set in Crosby, Maine, this latest novel from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Elizabeth Strout unites in one story her iconic protagonists, Lucy Barton and Olive Kitteridge, along with other recurring characters from those two previously separate fiction series. A shocking crime, a developing love story, and discussions about the meaning of life infuse this small-town drama, filled with observations and insights into both the mundane and the miraculous.
