The CAA Book Club – Start Reading NOW!
Sunday, June 29th at 10:30am

The CAA Book Club will next meet on Sunday, June 29th. We’ll be discussing Nine Folds Make a Swan by Ruth Gilligan. In its 2016 review of this book, The Guardian stated: “[W]riting an Irish novel with Jewish characters takes chutzpah, since so many critics and readers will immediately remember that most famous of Irish literary heroes, Leopold Bloom. There aren’t many young writers willing to risk comparison with James Joyce, but with Nine Folds Make a Paper Swan, Ruth Gilligan documents the Irish-Jewish community in a complex historical novel . . . . Unlike Ulysses, which pieces together elements of Irish-Jewish history during Bloom’s day-long travels, Nine Folds enters into communities of Irish Jews with a deliberation that sees the narrative extend itself across a century, gradually and elegantly weaving together three strands.”

We gather at CAA at about 10:15 a.m. for bagels and coffee and start the discussion at 10:30. Hope you’ll be able to join us!
