SUMMARY:BOOK CLUB | NOVEMBER 24TH
DESCRIPTION:FRIENDS OF THE CHENEY LIBRARY BOOK CLUB\n\n\n\nNovember Book Pick: Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk \n\n\n\nAuthor: Kathleen Rooney \n\n\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, November 24th at 6:30 pm \n\n\n\nWhere: Library Community Room at the Cheney Library \n\n\n\nThis event is open to all. Registration is not required. Please join us in discussing this month’s book pick. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook Description by SCLD: \n\n\n\nInspired by Margaret Fishback\, poet and Macy’s ad-writing phenom of the 1930s\, Rooney imagines an extraordinary walk through the streets of New York City on the last night of 1984\, one that triggers a flood of memories for fictional ad woman Lillian Boxfish. The octogenarian muses on the changing urban landscape as she stops at favorite haunts: an intimate neighborhood bar that’s just installed a TV\, a restaurant where she’s dined every New Year’s Eve that’s about to change owners\, the famed Delmonico’s\, where she ended her marriage. Further stops include a changing lower Manhattan landscape where she meets a haunted Vietnam veteran and engages him in a “best last-line contest\, ” a detour to a hospital emergency room with a frightened woman about to have her first baby\, and a party where she’s both scorned and adored by a new generation of artists\, followed by a hilarious encounter with three muggers. Meanwhile\, Lillian carefully recounts her celebrated career in advertising\, her adored husband and son\, and her emotional breakdown. Elegantly written\, Rooney creates a glorious paean to a distant literary life and time-and an unabashed celebration of human connections that bridge the past and future. \n\n\n\nSource: SCLD website
