June 2: We will observe LGBTQ Pride Month and will read Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood

First published in the 1930s, The Berlin Stories contains two astonishing related novels, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin, which are recognized today as classics of modern fiction. Isherwood magnificently captures 1931 Berlin: charming, with its avenues and cafés; marvelously grotesque, with its nightlife and dreamers; dangerous, with its vice and intrigue; powerful and seedy, with its mobs and millionaires―this is the period when Hitler was beginning his move to power. We will also view the film Cabaret which is based on the book.

Future meetings:

July 7: The Last Kings of Shanghai by Jonathan Kaufman

August 4: Florence Adler Swims Forever by Rachel Beanland

September 1: The Color of Love by Marra Gad
