Virtual Town and Gown Literary Discussion Group *on Zoom*
Thursday, May 26, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.
“Put on some Billie Holiday, pour a dry martini and immerse yourself in the eventful life of Katey Kontent…[Towles] clearly knows the privileged world he’s writing about, as well as the vivid, sometimes reckless characters who inhabit it.”–People
“Rules of Civility is a love letter to [the] seemingly random choices that 20-somethings make, but it’s also a paean to the post-jazz age and the city itself…[the novel] is infused with [contemporary parallels], deliciously evoking both a New York that will never again be in tandem with a New York that is unchanging, whether the power players live in an Upper East Side brownstone or a Bedford Avenue railroad apartment…a judgment-free, glorious romp that casts an egalitarian light on elegant and cruel social climbers; poor but pretentious artists and shy, quirky millionaires whose lives organically intersect in the only city where such a thing has always been possible.”–thedailybeast.com
The Town and Gown Literary Discussion Group meets to discuss contemporary and classic plays essays, short stories, poems and novels. It is co-sponsored by Mercy College School of Liberal Arts, Department of Literature and Language, and the Dobbs Ferry Public Library.
