Fairview Evening Book Club will be reading ‘Pride of Baghdad’ by Brian K. Vaughan for the month of March and discussing it on Tuesday, March 16th at 7pm via ZOOM! “This graphic novel works as an adventure story; a meditation on the pursuit, the problems, and the meaning of freedom; and a thoughtful allegory about the war in Iraq, with every scene having a deeper subtext.” Book Club meets the third Tuesday of each month at 7pm. |
