Kim's pick

This is a 1950 novella by Tennessee Williams about a fading actress who retires to Rome and hooks up with a young Italian — with passionate, and no doubt unfortunate, results. It should be available at the library, but you can also get it for 99 cents plus shipping on Amazon. Shall we start on April 3?

Getting started

I'll get us started with a selection and then we can take turns choosing — alphabetically? (That would make Leslie next). We can decide as a group how often we want to make a new pick. Once a month? Every five or six weeks? Whoever picks the reading should be in charge of getting the discussion started by posting a few observations/questions and then everyone else can jump in with comments/posts. I don't think we need to be concerned with defining "novella." We can just agree that the focus of the blog is short works — say, under 150 pages? — although that should be negotiable from time to time. Anything I'm forgetting?
