It’s Saturday and this Saturday I have the pleasant task of starting to prepare for my presentation of Ian McEwan’s Saturday to the Atwater Library book club on Wednesday, June 12 at 7:30 p.m. I’ve been leading discussions there for several years and they—as well as a similar series I lead at la Bibliothèque Robert-Bourassa in Outremont —are highlights of my month.
