SUMMARY:Brown Bag Books - Vinegar Girl
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Books - Vinegar Girl  \n\n\n\nThe October BBB book is
  Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler (fiction).\n\nIt is ostensibly a modern take o
 n Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew\, but is much more. “Novels such a
 s ... (this) ... are like photographs or digital clock faces that tell us 
 where we are and where we are coming from at the same time ... (this book)
  is an earthy reflection of this fleeting moment\, both lively and thought
 ful.” (Jane Smiley\, NYT Book Review). “[A] screwball comedy of manner
 s that actually channels Jane Austen more than Shakespeare. It’s clear t
 hat [Tyler] had fun with Vinegar Girl. ... A fizzy cocktail of a romantic 
 comedy\, far more sweet than acidic\, about finding a mate who appreciates
  you for your idiosyncratic\, principled self — no taming necessary.” 
 (NPR) “[An] ingenious resetting... with considerably more humor and gent
 leness than in the Bard’s version.” (Washington Post). “An effective
  retelling\, while nodding to the original text\, stands on its own.” (B
 oston Globe)\n\n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except 
 in July and August. Many attendees bring their lunches\, and everyone brin
 gs a sense of humor. Monthly sessions are always lively and enjoyable.\n\n
 Books chosen by the group for discussion are usually listed in the Order o
 f Service and the Bulletin\, as well as on the UUCPA website.\n\n&nbsp\;\n
