BOOK CLUB NEWS FOR SEPTEMBER 2014
One of the *most remarkable qualities
of The Goldfinch “is that it arrives singed
with 9/11 terror but redolent of a
19th-century novel,” Washington Post
reviewer Ron Charles says of the
Donna Tartt novel that stayed at the
top of the New York Times list for
several months late last year and
is the “read” for the Book Group’s
September 11 meeting.
The story opened with a powerful explosion in New
Yorks’ Metropolitan Museum which wounded and
killed many visitors instantly. A teen-aged boy, Theo
Decker, was among those who survived the terrorist’s
bomb, but his mother died in the attack, from which
event Theo never completely recovered.
“This is, among many other things, a novel of
survivor’s guilt, of living in ‘the generalized miasma
of shame and unworthiness and being-a-burden,’” the
reviewer explains.
The book takes its title from a famous painting by
Carel Fabritius, “The Goldfinch,” Theo’s mother’s
favorite painting, with which he emerged from the
burning gallery of the museum after the explosion.
Any interested University Club member is welcome to
attend Book Group meetings, for which participants
gather in the Club’s Front Lounge at 6p.m. for
cocktails, followed by dinner “from the menu” and
discussion of the book.
Reservations for the September 11 meeting must be
made no later than noon Wednesday, September 10, by
calling 338-5439.
For their October 9 gathering, the book group will be
reading The Sixth Extinction, by Elizabeth Kolbert.
