This is a book discussion club for OLLI members who find it convenient to meet on the OLLI Reston campus. Our focus is on serious contemporary fiction. We look for good novels on the long lists, short lists, and winner lists of the US National Book Award and the UK Man Booker prize and other major prizes. Our September book will be Exit West by Pakistani writer Mohsin Hamid, a novel that was short-listed for the 2017 Man Booker Prize. Our October book will be Pachinko by American Min Jin Lee, a National Book Award finalist. Our November book will be Sing, Unburied, Sing by American Jesmyn Ward, her first novel since she won the National Book Award for Salvage the Bones.
