September Bookclub: The Correspondent — Virginia Evans

Sun, Sep 27, 7:00 PM

From Books & Brew (Los Angeles Bookclub)

4.9

**📚 Our September Book Has Been Chosen!** Thanks to everyone who voted! Our next **Books & Brew** read is: ***The Correspondent — Virginia Evans*** Grab a copy, start reading, and join us for a great conversation! **About the Book** Sybil Van Antwerp has spent much of her life putting pen to paper. Through letters exchanged with family, friends, authors, and strangers, she shares her thoughts, frustrations, memories, and the pieces of herself that can sometimes be easier to express in writing than face-to-face. Told entirely through correspondence, *The Correspondent* gradually reveals the story of a complicated, sharp-witted woman confronting the relationships, regrets, and losses that have shaped her life. Warm, reflective, and deeply human, the novel explores connection, forgiveness, grief, and the ways we continue to grow and understand ourselves—even when we think we already know our own story.

Thu, Sep 24, 2:00 AM

From The South Gate Book Club

Read as much as you can and then let's meet up to discuss our thoughts on the book Stoner. "Plot Points: Stoner's life includes an ill-fated marriage to a cold woman, a tender affair with a colleague, strained relationships with his family, and a quiet, impactful career. Themes: The novel delves into loneliness, disappointment, existential meaning, the power of literature, and finding integrity and quiet dignity in a difficult world. Style: Written with simple, precise language, it captures the depth and beauty of a seemingly uneventful life, making the mundane feel profound."

You always get the history and backstory. This is what sets us apart.** **BARRAGAN’S EST. 1961** Ramon immigrated to Los Angeles from Nayarit, Mexico at age 16. He worked his way up from a dishwasher to a head chef before converting a tiny, 24-seat coffee shop into the original Barragan's Mexican Restaurant. Over the decades, the family expanded the brand into a small regional chain famous for giant portions, strong margaritas, and classic Mexican-American comfort food like cocido (short rib soup) and hard-shell tacos. **Location Timeline:** The original location opens in 1961 on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park (closed in 2013 when the family sold the property). 1981: A second location opens on Central Avenue in Glendale (closed in August 2019). 1985: The final location opens on Victory Boulevard in Burbank, which serves as their current standing flagship. **65th Anniversary** https://myburbank.com/barragans-celebrates-65-years-with-huge-celebration-and-month-long-rewards/. **HISTORY OF LOTERIA** **Short explanation how to play** https://youtu.be/QbAuUVe0W9c?si=04IyCl0NQHQdjN5i **In-depth history of the game dating back to the 15th Century and how to play (13 minute video)** https://youtu.be/npxfphuAbYU?si=EgOtSwU_n_ndjHCg **LOTERÍA (Bingo)** Did you know that the game Lotería was first created in Italy? Its origins are not Mexican as everyone believes! Another misconception like believing Cinco de Mayo is Independence Day! **🇮🇹The game originated in Italy in the 15th century and was brought to New Spain (modern Mexico) in 1769.** In the beginning, lotería was a hobby of the upper classes, but eventually it became a tradition at Mexican fairs. Players will quickly realize, how much more visually and intellectually engaging and fun it is to play Lotería than American Bingo. The true authentic way to play Lotería is to have the announcer (cantor) give an improvised short poem or familiar phrase alluding to the image on the card. Example: “The coat for the poor” for the image of the sun, or “The one who dies by the mouth” for the image of the fish. The authentic way to play is far more challenging and engaging. But we will keep it simple and play the “gringo” version. Get ready for a lot of laughter!! Each player uses a chip (often a bean) to mark the corresponding spot on their tabla. The first player to appropriately fill the tabla in a predefined pattern will shout “Lotería!” to win the game & prize!! **🇲🇽HISTORY OF MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE** Mexican independence began with the 11-year war from 1810 to 1821 that freed Mexico from Spanish rule. The Start of the Revolt * The movement began on **September 16, 1810**. * A Catholic priest named **Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla** rang his church bell in the town of Dolores. * He gave a passionate speech known as the **Grito de Dolores** (Cry of Dolores), urging people to rise up against Spanish control. How Freedom Was Won * Hidalgo's initial uprising was defeated, and he was executed in 1811. * Other leaders like **José María Morelos** and **Vicente Guerrero** kept fighting for the cause. * The war ended in **1821** when rebel forces and political leaders united under the Plan of Iguala, forcing Spain to sign the Treaty of Córdoba and recognize Mexican sovereignty. How It Is Celebrated Today * Mexicans celebrate **Independence Day** every year on **September 16**. * Festivities actually begin on the night of **September 15** with music, food, and a reenactment of the historic Grito by civic leaders. * It is often confused with **Cinco de Mayo**, which marks a military victory against the French, not independence from Spain. **🚘PARKING** Plenty of FREE parking. Enter parking lot on the RIGHT side of the building. MEETUP POLICY 🔺No drop-ins. RSVP Meetup members only 🔺 3 under 24-hr cancellations/3-months out 🔺 3 failures to pay (fee events)/6-months out 🔺 2 no-shows/perm. removed 🔺 Excessive cancellations perm. removed
