The club is spread across two days to accommodate as many members as possible and follows the Dobbs Ferry Schools calendar for vacations and days off. Please only sign up if you think you can attend most of the meetings.

This month we will be discussing A Postcard Memoir by Lawrence Sutin.

Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org to get the Zoom link — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

Drawing upon his collection of quirky antique postcards, Lawrence Sutin has penned A Postcard Memoir—a series of brief but intense reminiscences of his “ordinary” life. In the process, he creates an unrepentant, wholly unique account about learning to live with a consciousness all his own. Ranging from remembered events to inner states to full-blown fantasies, Sutin is at turns playful and somber, rhapsodic and mundane, funny and full of pathos. Here you’ll find tales about science teachers and other horrors of adolescence, life in a comedy troupe, stepfathering–each illustrated with the postcard that triggered Sutin’s muse–and presented in a mix so enticingly wayward as to prove that at least some of it really happened.
