Audacity and Originality Short Story...er... Discussion
Details
For my second attempt at an inaugural meeting, I'm going to choose from another wonderful short story writer, Flannery O'Connor. From her short story collection "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" I'd like to read the title story, as well as, "Good Country People." If you haven't read either of these, you're in for a treat. Also, "A Late Encounter with the Enemy" is great, as well, though not as audacious as the other two.
I was hoping Wednesday evenings would work, but realize there's a competing Meet up group doing a book club in Berkeley, so maybe that's why there wasn't much of a response last time I tried this. I also know traffic can be rough down Monument. If there's not much response again, I'll reconsider. If there's another night that you'd prefer, let me know, though I make no promises. I was hoping this might be a neat little get-together and still do. Cheers, Jason...
To get to the community building where we'll meet, turn right (south) into The Trees Drive off Monument (if you’re coming east from 680 allow time for traffic). After you turn, you’ll see where The Trees dead endsy. Make a U-turn and while you’re turning, park in one of the 8 or 10 visitor spots in front of you there. Otherwise park along the curb by the pool, if spots are open, or along the side or in front of the 1310 building. We’re meeting in the building in front of the visitor spots, to the right of the pool. If you are at the building between Monument and the pool, that’s not it, but feel free to pick up some flowers.

The pool, kitchen and community area floors might be slippery. Please use caution.
