Upcoming reading club meeting
Additionally, the next meeting of the Reading Club is scheduled for Monday, 23 November, at 17:00. The group will discuss the book Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin.
This collection features some of the best stories from the renowned American storyteller, who has been rediscovered in recent years. Berlin's narratives are largely autobiographical, reflecting her childhood in various mining towns across the United States, her adolescence among the upper class in Santiago, Chile, and her experiences with three failed marriages and struggles with alcoholism while raising four children alone.
Berlin's ironic perspective reveals the magic found in a laundromat in the American Southwest, offers insights into the affluent homes of California, and captures the atmosphere of a declining restaurant in Mexico City. The women in her stories often feel lost yet are simultaneously strong, intelligent, and, above all, real. They laugh, cry, love, and drink; they survive.
