Tompkins
County Public Library will host the winter session of its popular “4 Seasons
Book Club” February 5 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the BorgWarner Room—West.
Participants
will enjoy a lively discussion of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, “Tender is
the Night.”
Set
on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, “Tender Is the Night” explores the
tragic and tumultuous relationships between young actress Rosemary Hoyt and
seemingly-glamorous American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young
psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to
Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own and whose growing
strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. A profound study of the romantic
concept of character, “Tender Is the Night” is lyrical, expansive, and
hauntingly evocative.
Participation
in the “4 Seasons Book Club” is available online and in-person. Face-to-face
meeting dates in 2015 are scheduled for February 5, April 2, June 4 and October
1. Online discussions are ongoing and by invitation only. The online
“4
Seasons Book Club” is available through Goodreads.com, a "free website for
book lovers.” To register, visit http://www.goodreads.com.

Vadakin at (607) 272-4557 extension 272 or tvadakin@tcpl.org.
