Book club focuses on 1980 novel

The Shortlist Book Club will meet from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at The Writer’s Block. The club focuses on books that were shortlisted for, but didn’t win, a significant literary prize. At this meeting, the subject is what Alice Munro’s “The Beggar Maid: Stories of Flo and Rose,” and its second-place finish for the 1980 Man Booker Prize, tell us about that year. There’s no admission fee, but attendees are expected to have read the novel (or most of it). 519 S. Sixth St., thewritersblock.org
