Details

For November, a book about a (possibly mediocre) artist who is having a mid-life crisis: Brideshead Revisited.

According to the original New York Times review:

"Brideshead Revisited" has the depth and weight that are found in a writer working in his prime, in the full powers of an eager, good mind and a skilled hand, retaining the best of what he has already learned. It tells an absorbing story in imaginative terms. By indirection it summarizes and comments upon a time and a society. It has an almost romantic sense of wonder, together with the provocative, personal point of view of a writer who sees life realistically.

Let's gather on zoom with out most autumnal beverages and talk about this autumnal book.
