Ray Bradbury: Dandelion Wine
Thursday, August 23, 7pm
Led by Christine Borne, 2012 Cuyahoga Partnership for the Arts and Culture Creative Workforce Fellow and editor in chief of The Cleveland Review, the Classics Book Club meets every 4th Thursday at Loganberry Books.
About this month's selection: Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole wide world that lies beyond the city limits. It is a pair of brand-new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather's renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley's bell on a hazy afternoon. It is yesteryear and tomorrow blended into an unforgettable always. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals whose mystical power holds time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine who can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future.
