I'm late getting the title out this month ... and our discussion comes early! So, we're reading something short - The Death of Ivan Ilych, by Leo Tolstoy. This short story begins with the death of an upstanding member of society, and then remembers his life - with Tolstoy asking, "What did it gain him?" The reflections on death and life by Ivan Ilych's still living peers are also recorded, challenging us, the living, to refect on our own mortality.
The discussion of this short work will be this coming Friday, September 24, at 7:30 pm. For more information, including the location of the discussion, please leave a comment and I will contact you.
