Walk this way to the next meeting of the Classic Book Discussion Group, which will be reading Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis this month:
*****
BOOK DESCRIPTION: This 1926 Pulitzer Prize winning novel centers on the title character, a promising medical student who, as a doctor and following several intervening ventures, becomes a medical researcher in New York. A widespread killer plague takes him to a Caribbean island to produce and inject sera and do research.
Fascinating characters, some professional, others romantic, impact his life. Striking similarities of the epidemic in this novel to the pandemic of the 2020’s may today seem prophetic.
*****
An in-person discussion of Arrowsmith will be held on Thursday, April 27, at 3:00 PM. No registration is required to attend.
Copies of Arrowsmith are currently available on our 1st Floor on the Book Discussion Shelf (just behind our New Books shelves).
You can also download a copy of Arrowsmith through Hoopla as an ebook or as an audiobook.
