Our next book club will be on Wednesday November, 20th at 5:30 in Bostock 127 (The Edge Workshop Room) @ The Edge.
It’s that time when signs of the transitioning season are all around us, from the shortening days to changing leaves and shivers in the morning. As we move closer to winter, the Low Maintenance Book Club will be reading and discussing two short essays by Helen Macdonald on the cyclical movement of nature’s patterns: “The Human Flock” and “Sex, Death and Mushrooms.” Macdonald, author of the award-winning H is for Hawk, published these two essays as part of her regular “On Nature” column for The New York Times.
Both essays were published in The New York Times and are available on the NYT site:
- “The Human Flock”: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/06/magazine/the-human-flock.html
- “Sex, Death and Mushrooms”: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/08/magazine/sex-death-and-mushrooms.html
They can also be found searching by essay title in The New York Times database collection.
Light snacks will be served. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. If you have any questions, you can contact Arianne Hartsell-Gundy at aah39@duke.edu.
