Our chosen book this month is Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby, the acclaimed and prolific British writer of novels, nonfiction, and screenplays. It tells the triangulated story of Annie, long-suffering girlfriend of obsessed music fan Duncan, and the object of Duncan’s obsession, a singer-songwriter who has been living under the radar for decades. One critic writes that the novel’s likably bleak humour lies in its examination of male fandom and how the internet has fed and enabled it. How much of Duncan’s obsession can his relationship with Annie really stand?
You can order the book via Kindle, Amazon, or the local English bookshop, Le Bookshop. Some of our American members are able to electronically "borrow" books from their hometown library for free.
Venue: The Montpellier English Library at 23 Rue Lakanal in Beaux Arts.
