Omnilore Book Club

The next Omnilore Book Club meeting is Thursday, August 6, at 4:30 p.m. in Room L8 of BCHD. 

Rick Pruetz will lead a discussion of The Tortilla Curtain by award winning author T.C. Boyle.  The book is a tragicomic portrayal of illegal immigration and the fractured American dream in Southern California. A bestseller, it has been praised for its enduring relevance, gripping tension, and balanced, empathetic portrayal. You can bring snacks and beverages for yourself or to share. If you have not responded and plan to attend, please RSVP to Joan Kolic at koljn7831@gmail.com or ampruetz@gmail.com.
