Next Meeting

"The Spectator Bird" by Wallace Stegner.  It won the 1977 National Book Award.

Joe Allston is a retired literary agent whose parents and only son are dead, and who feels that he has been a mere spectator through life. Then a postcard from a friend causes him to return to the journals of a trip he took to his mother's birthplace to search for his roots; memories of that journey reveal that he is not quite spectator enough. Winner of the National Book Award.
