January & February 2010
Eptek Art & Cultural Centre - Book Club February 4th
Eptek Book Club 10th Anniversary
The Eptek Centre Book Club will celebrate 10 years of literature and comradery on
January 7. The group meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. and new
members are always welcome.
On Thursday, February 4th at 7p.m., the members will discuss ‘Tender Is The Night’ by
F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This classic is “the story of a charming, young psychiatrist who marries his
emotionally disturbed patient...we're tempted to look at Tender as the Night as a
thinly-veiled gloss on the autobiographical dirt of the Fitzgerald marriage. But we can
also look at the book as something larger: as a swan song for the Jazz Age, for the
American idealism that fueled Gatsby, and for the illusions of everlasting love.” [About.
com John Thornton].
Eptek Art & Culture Centre is a site of PEI Museum and Heritage; it is located at 130
Harbour Drive on the Summerside waterfront. All are welcome.
