Description
From the early 1900’s to post- WWII, from Kafka to Camus, this virtual book club will explore existentialism, absurdism, war, the role of literature, and beautiful prose, among many other topics. This club will meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month, discussing the first and last half of the reading selection, respectively. The Claremont Gerontology Association, a group of dedicated volunteers from the Claremont Colleges, is excited to read good books and have great discussions with you! Book club will take place on Zoom. Preregistration is required.
