The next meeting of the IU South Bend Veterans Book Club will be Thursday Oct 21 at 5:30. There are options for Zoom and in person participation.
The book club will be discussion Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain. It’s a dark humor satire about fame, celebrity, and commercialism in the U.S. The story covers the 15 minutes of fame thrust upon Bravo squad after being filmed by a news team during a firefight. The military, the NFL and the rich, famous, and powerful all want to capitalize on the men’s heroics.
The IU South Bend Veterans Book Club is open to everyone on campus and in the community interested in veteran’s experiences and thoughtful conversation. If you would like more information, or a free copy of the book, please contact Rhonda Culbertson (rculbert@iusb.edu)
