The next meeting of the Newbury Book Discussion Group will be Thursday, April 5th, 7 PM at the Tenney Memorial Library. This month we are reading "The Nix" by Nathan Hill.

A sprawling saga of a story, Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly writes, “If any novel defied an elevator pitch in 2016, it was The Nix. Acid critique of millennial entitlement, videogame addiction, and clueless academia; tender meditation on childhood friendship, first loves, and maternal abandonment; handy tutorial on ’60s radicalism and Norwegian ghost mythology: Nathan Hill’s magnificently overstuffed debut contains multitudes, and then some. . . . the story surges, ricocheting from sleepy ’80s suburbia and the 1968 DNC riots to WWII-era Norway, post-9/11 Iraq, and beyond. ...Hill is a brilliantly surreal social satirist..." Order this book ASAP through interlibrary loan from your local library - it's a lengthy read, but one that will keep you up burning the midnight oil to find out what happens next! Join us on the 5th even if you don't quite manage to finish it, our discussions are always fun and informative.
