Library Book Group Meeting.
Please join the library staff in a discussion of
Growing Up by Russell Baker.
Russell Baker is the 1979 Pulitzer
Prize winner for Distinguished Commentary and a
columnist for The New York Times. This book traces
his youth in the mountains of rural Virginia.
"He draws from a time and a world very much in the
American grain: memories of listening to grown-ups
rocking on the porch and sonorously reciting cliches
or of Depression evenings in Baltimore spent around
the kitchen table with endless talk and cups of
coffee." -- New York Times
Readers may bring their own copy or place a hold on
a library item. Refreshments will be served. |
