October's hybrid meeting--IN PERSON at the **Boulder Library Main Branch second floor Arapahoe Room** & ONLINE (see link when you register)--is *All Fours* by Miranda July (USA, 2024) on Sunday starting at 2:30 pm (for 2 hours).

Performance artist, musician, actress, and film director Miranda July's second novel focuses on the existential longings of a semi-famous artist who decides to take some me time, away from her work and her marriage. Will her obsessions with sex, her art, more sex, and the second-biggest pop star in the world lead to her jumping out a window, or could her perimenopause evolve into something more meaningful? Remember: Every day is Tuesday.

We are Writers Who Read. We use Literary Forensics to dissect a recent novel (published within the past 18 months) with the goal of uncovering how the author has utilized their skills for effect. Storytelling is an art, but it's not a mystery. Every writer must address the following:

* Structure, Timeline, Pacing, Suspense, Omission
* Point of View, including Voice, Character, Place
* Language, Tense, Imagery, Metaphor, Symbols
* Motivation: Making a story pop - generating a thrill
* Why this story? And why now? Industry considerations

We ask that all attendees read the entire book in advance of the meeting, and come bearing their discoveries of how the author has addressed each of the five points above.
