Each year the Council devotes a weekend to a single long work of fiction. This year we returned to Marin County's lovely Walker Creek Ranch, 1700 Marshall-Petaluma Road, where the rooms are spacious, the food is excellent, and the discussion rooms are large and airy. The drive through Marin is scenic, and if you find the time on Saturday, you can drive a few miles to Marshall on the coast for oysters and a glass of wine.
The next Long Novel Weekend will take place in August 2011. Please check back on this site closer to that date for an event flyer and registration form.
Long novel weekends in the recent past have featured discussions of The Magic Mountain, Vanity Fair, The Cairo Trilogy, The Sound and the Fury, Sons and Lovers, Anna Karenina, Parade's End, and Crime and Punishment. This has been a popular event and has often sold out quickly. For more information about the Long Novel Weekend, please contact event coordinator Louise DiMattio at (415) 587-0398 or ladimat@aol.com.
