Also - we hope that you will attend at least one of the other events described in this newsletter. For a complete listing of events at the Fellowship, click on the Calendar icon. Want more detail?

 Tuesday, April 22
from 7 - 8:30 PMThis month's book: All That Is, by James Salter - his first novel in 35 years. Salter, noted primarily for his highly compressed short fiction, is frequently described as "a writer's writer" in admiration for his mastery of the craft.
InAll That Is, he unfolds the life arc of one character, following him from military action in World War II through a career as a New York book editor and a life-long search for a meaningful relationship. Salter describes both the highlights and the tediums of life with the insightful and compressed imagery that his fans have come to expect. In the process he also delivers a portrait of American life in the late twentieth century. "Mad Men" may come to mind.
The Book Group meets monthly (excluding December) at the Fellowship to discuss a new novel or collection of essays chosen by retired English professor Dick Moseley, who also facilitates the conversation. All are welcome to attend, read the month's selection, and enjoy delving deeper into some of today's best new literature.
