Last night, I attended a book club meeting at the Monkey See bookstore in downtown Northfield, Mn. Jerry, the bookstore owner, hosted Phil and Barb, Mary, Charlene, and author Tom Swift whose own book, Chief Bender’s Burden, has been getting lots of favorable publicity lately. At the once-a-month get together, we discussed the short story collection, Unaccustomed Earth, by Jhumpa Lahiri.
