Listed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the best 50 books written in the last 25 years, Karen Valby of Entertainment Weekly reviewed, “Ostensibly the story of a months-long hostage crisis, Bel Canto is more a meditation on the unlikely allegiances that form in extreme circumstances. … One approaches the final pages with a heavy heart for several reasons, not the least of which being that this fine read has come to an end.” We will meet this evening at the home of Kathy Janoski, 6S001 Steeple Run Drive, Naperville 60540, (630) 605-8636.

The Lacuna is a sweeping mural of sensory delights and stimulating ideas about art, government, identity and history. The New York Times Book Review wrote, “Breathtaking...dazzling...The Lacuna can be enjoyed sheerly for the music of its passages on nature, archaeology, food and friendship; or for its portraits of real and invented people...But the fuller value...lies in its call to conscience and connection.” And the Chicago Tribune reviewed, “Rich … impassioned … engrossing … Politics and art dominate the novel, and their overt, unapologetic connection is refreshing.” Please bring a munchie to share, your beverage of choice and your opinions about the book. The Lacuna is currently available from Amazon in both hard cover and paperback and also available at most libraries and book stores. Directions to Bob DeHoff’s home: From the north, take Butterfield Rd./Rte. 56 to Rte. 53; turn south, passing under Rte. 88.
