ELLIOTT BAY BOOK GROUP Tuesday, February 5 at 6:30 p.m.
Each month, the Elliott Bay Book Club reads and discusses the best in contemporary fiction with the occasional classic thrown in for good measure. Our selection is Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood. Atwood's novel is an exporation of the lust for power, both sexual and political and the human need for compassion. The Boston Globe called the novel, "A Feminist journey through Graham Greene-Land. Bodily Harm...never preaches, The plot is strurdy, the character admirably modeled and the tone of the book succeeds in mingling a considerable amount of humor...with the malevolent shadows of politics and history." and New York Newsday wrote, "Frightening, complex, sometimes outstandingly funny...Margaret Atwood writes some of the best prose around."
