October 2022 Bookclub News

 


 Dear Bookclub,

Autumn gave an outstanding performance on Maxine Lane as the perfect backdrop for an over-the-top luncheon at Terrie's. Treated to a seasonal feast with festive china and adornments, we settled in, enjoying and openly sharing our thoughts and ideas about Daniel Mason's collection of stories. "My Registry of Passages Upon the Earth" wowed us with the weird, the wisdom, and the wacky. 


Mason, a psychiatrist at Stanford, is  - to me - heart-throbbingly talented. His website is the most artistic and altruistic author's websites I have ever visited. Also, extremely helpful with several links to interviews both print and audio. Wikipedia him as well if you would like to be further impressed.

Oh, and of course he is married to another very talented writer, who also has a cool website: Sara Houghteling, author of  "Pictures at an Exhibition".
