Novel Art: A Book Discussion Group with Kim Baker
June 6, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join writer and poet Kim Baker for Novel Art, a monthly book group exploring art-themed historical fiction. The book Kim has chosen for June is Luncheon of the Boating Party, by Susan Vreeland.
Vreeland focuses on a single painting, Auguste Renoir’s instantly recognizable masterpiece, which depicts a gathering of Renoir’s real friends enjoying a summer Sunday on a café terrace along the Seine. Narrated by Renoir and seven of the models, the novel illuminates the gusto, hedonism, and art of the era. With a gorgeous palette of vibrant, captivating characters, Vreeland paints their lives, loves, losses, and triumphs so vividly that “the painting literally comes alive” (The Boston Globe).
Class Fee: $15, This class is limited to 8 students.
