VB Reads...Feminist Book Group -- Village Books Reading Group! Join Jen, on the last Sunday of every month to discuss and explore feminism in a fun, empowering environment.  Open to anyone who wants to explore feminism.  Authors DO NOT ATTEND. American Romances by Rebecca Brown This collection of mordant, poignant, and playful essays shows Brown at the height of her imaginative and intuitive powers. A wry, incisive social and literary critique is couched in a gonzo mix of pop culture, autobiography, fiction, literary history, misremembered movie plots, and fantasy that plays with the notion of what it is to be “American.” Fantastical connections and unlikely meetings span the course of America’s cultural history in a manic remix, featuring appearances by Brian Wilson, Gertrude Stein, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Invisible Man, the Abligensian Crusade, John Wayne, Felix Mendelssohn, JFK, Shane, and God.
