Madison Classic Literature Meetup

Please join us for a discussion of "Absalom, Absalom!," William Faulkner's 1936 novel about three families in the southern United States around the time of the Civil War. Faulkner won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.

Please note the new meeting location -- we will be meeting in a downstairs conference room at the Park Hotel.

There is no cost to attend the meetup, except for the food and drinks you order from The Post bar and restaurant in the hotel. Please keep in mind that The Post is a business, and that the wait staff depends on your tips for their income.

There are two different meetups this month for the same book. The format and discussion will be the same for both meetups. Please RSVP for one or the other.
