OLLI Reads: A Book Discussion Group

Online

We lose ourselves in books. We find ourselves there too! In this session we’ll examine what happens when the façade of those who we love and admire crumbles.
Bestselling and award-winning novelist, Zadie Smith’s latest tale The Fraud dives into the murky shadowy lines between truth and fiction. Next, we’ll explore our
internal conflicts about artists we may love who are also reprehensible in their personal lives in Claire Dederer’s Monsters—A Fan’s Dilemma. We’ll close with Linda
Holmes’ debut novel, Evvie Drake Starts Over, about picking up the pieces of a fractured life and moving on.

Note: OLLI membership required.

Suggested Reading: The Fraud, Zadie Smith; Monsters— A Fan’s Dilemma, Claire Dederer; and Evvie Drake Starts Over, Linda Holmes.
