Each year the Council devotes a weekend to a single long work of fiction. In 2012 we will discuss David Copperfield (Penguin edition, ISBN 978-0-14-0439-44-1) in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens.
This year the Long Novel Weekend moves to a new location, the Vallombrosa Retreat Center in Menlo Park. The event will take place on August 18-19, 2012.

Long novel weekends in the recent past have featured discussions of Look Homeward, Angel; 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.
