“WHAT’S IN A NOVEL?” BOOK CLUB - a new book club at Page 2 Books that meets on the second Monday of the month at 6pm!
📖 FIRST BOOK: Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
📅 FIRST MEETING: Monday, July 13th, 6pm at Page 2 Books
Join Josh in exploring books that play with form, narration, characterization, and language. Let’s get metafictional!
“Ella Minnow Pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal phrase containing all the letters of the alphabet, ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.’
Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the island’s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel.”
