June is a fiction month for the Arroyo Book Club. It is also the start of the library’s Summer Reading Challenge. The theme of this year’s Summer Reading Challenge is LA Dreaming. In celebration of that theme the book club will read titles set in or about Los Angeles. So… the book we will read and discuss this month is The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle. The catalog description of the book pithily says:
The lives of two different couples--wealthy Los Angeles liberals Delaney and Kyra Mossbacher, and Candido and America Rincon, a Mexican couple in the US illegally--suddenly collide, in a story that unfolds from the shifting viewpoints of the various characters.
Stop by the branch to pick up a copy to read. You will find them in the usual location, just ask if you don’t know where that is.
We will meet to discuss the book on Saturday, June 22 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom let us know at ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you.
