On Saturday, the Ruiz Library held its monthly Hooking & Booking meeting. In addition to starting up scarves for winter, attendees gathered to discuss A Farewell to Arms.
Brenda, Mike and Julie took turns considering Catherine’s role in Hemingway’s classic and Brenda supported her belief that AFTA is a chronicle of Frederic Henry’s rite of passage.
Knitters and crocheters also pondered the meaning of the title and brought up related reading in nonfiction and poetry.
Those readers interested in discovering Hemingway’s ties to Kansas City and the Kansas City Star should not miss Steve Paul‘s illustrated talk on that very subject at the Kansas City Public Library on Wednesday, October 24 at 7 pm. Parking is free and a reception will begin at 6 pm. Save your seat by RSVPing here.
