This week, Travis and Amanda recommend DEPT. OF SPECULATION, a novel by Jenny Offill. If you've ever wanted to dabble in reading stream of consciousness prose but could never work up the courage, then this slim yet powerful novel may be your best bet. Though it takes some time acclimating to Offill's fairly chaotic structure and stripped-down tone, the rewards (we felt) were worth it. And wouldn't you know it, this is a pretty great novel to discuss with a group - because you will be, undoubtedly, somewhat baffled at times! Join us as we contemplate which ancient, forgotten religion best maps to a particular young couple's marital strife (it'll make more sense once you read, we promise.)
