June's hybrid meeting--IN PERSON at the **Boulder Library Main Branch second floor Flatirons Meeting Room** & ONLINE (see link when you register)--is *Margo's Got Money Troubles* by Rufi Thorpe (USA, 2024) on Sunday starting at 2:30 pm (for 2 hours).

All-star wrestling! Cosplay! OnlyFans! Rufi Thorpe’s fourth novel is about none of those things and yet somehow it’s about all of those things. Margo, an unemployed 20-year-old single mother, struggles to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her. A wickedly clever take on the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, both online and IRL.

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.
