SUMMARY:Low Maintenance Book Club reads "The Tale of Genji\," meeting 1 of 4
DESCRIPTION:\n\nIt’s time for the annual summer Low Maintenance Book Club 
 Big Books Edition! This year\, we’re embarking on our heftiest read yet: 
 Murasaki Shikibu’s The Tale of Genji\, often credited as the world’s 
 first novel. Set in the Heian court\, this work follows the life and many 
 loves of Genji\, “the Shining Prince.”\n\n\n\nOur first meeting of four 
 will take place over Zoom from noon-1pm on Thursday\, May 21st and will 
 cover the introduction through Chapter 11. Although you may read any 
 edition\, we recommend the Royall Tyler translation. And if you are 
 interested in supplemental reading\, we suggest starting with The Tale of 
 Genji: A Reader’s Guide and The Tale of Genji: A Visual Companion. Copies 
 of these books can be found at Duke University Libraries and some local 
 public libraries. \n\n\n\nAs always\, you’re welcome to join regardless 
 of how much (or whether) you’ve read! Just make sure to RSVP to receive a 
 Zoom link the morning of the meeting. Hope to see you there!
