Bar Book Club reminder
Mon Jul 19 2010Wellbeing
The Bar Book Club will hold its next meeting at 6.00pm on Thursday, 22 July in the Bar Library.� The book is The Beautiful and the Damned by F Scott Fitzgerald. "This is Fitzgerald 's bleakest novel, infected by a tone of cynicism. Not even Fitzgerald seems to care particularly about Anthony and Gloria Patch, his handsome young couple who decline in dignity and promise as they sue for the inheritance that will make them independently wealthy and, they anticipate, blissfully happy. When the money finally comes their way, however, Anthony has virtually lost his mind and Gloria's beauty has begun to fade and harden." 19 July 2010
