Bookclub meets to discuss “The Dinner”

The February read for the bookclub is “The Dinner” by Herman Koch: a summer’s evening in Amsterdam and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant. Between mouthfuls of food and over the polite scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse – the banality of work, the triviality of holidays. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened.

Upcoming dates for 2016 are February 19th, March 18th, April 22nd, May 20th & June 17th.
