The BOOKS ‘n BRUNCH reading series continues on Saturday, July 9 at 9 AM with Jim Schley leading a discussion of Frank McCourt’s book ANGELA’S ASHES. Schley is sure to bring new nuance to this book that became a huge bestseller when it was released in 1996 and which won the Pulitzer Prize. Even if you have already read this book, Jim Schley will bring greater understanding. McCourt’s masterful memoir chronicles a childhood growing up poor in Ireland.
Schley, who holds a bachelor’s degree in English and Native American Studies from Dartmouth College and an MFA in poetry from Warren Wilson College, has edited more than a hundred books on a wide variety of subjects. He is the author of a poetry chapbook, One Another and a full-length book of poems, As When, In Season.
