The Book Discussion Group will read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde for the 95th book discussion, as a companion book to Gather by Kenneth M. Cadow as we look forward to Mr. Cadow's author visit.  We are fortunate to have this local author of the Vermont Reads book of 2024 presenting at our February 10th meeting.  

The Vermont Humanities Council has supplied the library with copies of Gather to give participants of the program.  

​

The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's fable of a fashionable young man who attains eternal youth and beauty while only his portrait grows old, hidden away in a locked room.  Despite the young man's disintegration into a life of crime, his face never reflects the moral decay.  Instead, the portrait records every deed by turning his once handsome features into a hideous mask.*
