Saturday Breakfast Book Club (In-Person Session): "The Plot"

Join us for our Saturday Breakfast Book Club! Each month, we'll read one of the novels & memoirs the New York Times designates as its "Most Notable Books" from the preceding year while enjoying coffee and baked goods. We will meet at 10 am every fourth Saturday to discuss the book; patrons have the option of attending virtually or in person.

Our selection for March 2023 will be the bestelling 2021 thriller The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz. This riveting novel is a story within a story that is a Rubik’s Cube of twists. Jake Finch Bonner is living a life he never expected. Instead of fame and fortune, this once-promising young author is teaching MFA seminars at an obscure university and barely making ends meet. Then abrasive, self-important Evan Parker arrives in Jake’s class with a one-of-a-kind plot that he’s confident will rocket him into the kind of success and stardom enjoyed by few in the literary world. And once Jake hears that story, he knows Evan is right, and Jake’s jealousy and self-pity are palpable. But Evan Parker doesn’t publish that book—Jake Bonner does. And someone knows whose plot he stole. Korelitz’s psychological thriller keeps the reader guessing even when the answers seem clear, and when the final piece clicks into place, what you see is the last thing you’d expect.

Copies of the monthly selection will be made available at the library's Circulation Desk. Please sign up below to participate in this month's discussion!
