Boys to Men hosts a Book Club geared towards parents, caregivers, educators and community members interested in discussing male portrayal in literature, fiction and non-fiction. We will discuss books and how literature does or does not perpetuate the male myth.
The next meeting will be held on Thursday, November 15, 6:30PM at the Portland Public Library. The book selected for November is the classic The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger. Published in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye is still relevant and popular with teen readers today for its themes of teenage confusion, angst, alienation, and rebellion.
If you missed the previous Book Club, please feel free to join!
