Description

Through her close examination of each of the club’s selected novels, as well as personal interviews and correspondence with OBC authors, Rooney demonstrates that in its tumultuous eight-year history the OBC has occupied a place of prominence unique in the culture that neither its supporters nor detractors have previously given it credit for.

First Sentence

Over the course of the past few years, whenever I've found myself home in the Chicago area, I've worked as a sales associate at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville, Illinois, a shop with the proud history of being one of the region's oldest independent booksellers, a shop whose paychecks are still personally signed by Mr. Tres Anderson.
