![]() ![]() The children’s program was about ‘bugs’ and the teen program was about ‘metamorphosis.’ Adult program participants would read books connected to California in some way. Just before I started to fill in the participation form with Sedaris’ “When You are Engulfed in Flames,” the librarian mentioned that the staff had chosen to give the adult program a theme. Always supportive, I had shown up ready to list the many books I was reading. My local library had added an adult reading program to its menu of summer kids’ programs. Though I’d love it if students read the novel, this review is for adults, the primary audience for the book. ![]() At any rate, this reminded me of what a great novel Angle of Repose is. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow night if they are going to make a poster copy or just have copies available to encourage customers to buy the book. ![]() I also found out that Borders wants to print an essay I wrote two years ago for California Writers’ Month on the novel Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner. I’m very excited because, as part of the celebration, on Thursday night, I’ll be reading aloud a few pages from the new book Tattoos on the Heart by Father Gregory Boyle at the Borders Bookstore in Montclair. This is California Writers’ Month–and to celebrate, we read books by California authors. ![]()
