The Law of Similars Resources

So, I'm a little behind this month, but better late than never I guess.

Since I have class Monday nights this fall, the group has graciously agreed to switch to Tuesday meetings for the next couple of months which means that our next meeting is:

Tuesday, September 25 at 7:30 pm - since the Session will likely also be meeting we will plan on being in the South Lounge.

Our title for this month is The Law of Similars by Chris Bohjalian.

Bohjalian has been compared to Jodi Picoult in topic and style and his book Midwives was one of Oprah's Book Club picks. For more information on that title you can read his interview with BookBrowse.com.

For information on all of Bohjalian's titles and his life, the first stop should be his website.
You can also find a brief bio at his Random House Author Page and he's one of the authors featured through the Barnes and Noble "Meet the Writers" program.

BookReporter.com has an interview with Bohjalian. For further insight into Bohjalian's mind you can also check out his newspaper colum, Idyll Banter, from the Burlington Free Press.

Finally, our old standby ReadingGroupGuides.com has a guide for The Law of Similars.

Hopefully I'll get next month's information on Matthew Pearl up a little bit sooner; I look forward to seeing you all soon!
