For out next selection, we'll be reading Eat, Love, Pray: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia, by Elizabeth Gilbert. Lynn got "Book Club in a Bag" from the library, so if you need a copy—audio or print—see her. (And if you don't have time to read or listen to the book at all, see the new movie with Julia Roberts!) Please join us at a location to be determined for discussion. Newcomers are always welcome, even if you can only come this one time! A brief summary of the movie from Publishers Weekly can be found below. |
| Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights—the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners—Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry—conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor—as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression. | |
