Yesterday, a Salon participant thoughtfully gave words to the Salon experience: The Salons create ‘a rigorous familiarization with the book, the other people and oneself through our discussions…’. The choices for the February studies range from the rough beauty and forthright study in courage of Beowulf to the lush and probing lyricism of The Sound and the Fury. For those particularly interested in the short story genre (or with less reading time), the Cheever/Carver pairing will provide ample room for exploration of human beauty in unexpected places…
