Monterey Book Club Monthly Meeting

The Monterey Book Club meets on the third Friday of each month at 5:30 pm. Join us for a fun and engaging discussion of our monthly book selection.

Reflecting on the 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina we will be reading a unique perspective.

THE BOOK: Zeitoun by Dave Eggers (Author)

Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun run a house-painting business in New Orleans. In August of 2005, as Hurricane Katrina approaches, Kathy evacuates with their four young children, leaving Zeitoun to watch over the business. In the days following the storm he travels the city by canoe, feeding abandoned animals and helping elderly neighbors. Then, on September 6th, police officers armed with M-16s arrest Zeitoun in his home.
