Praise the Unsung Book Club Tony Earley:  Jim the Boy Thursday, March 25, 7pm ~ fourth Thursdays ~ From its title to its closing sentence, Tony Earley's first novel returns to basics, back to modernness in the old sense of the word. It's not a big book, just a good one -- and in this instance ''good'' is higher praise than ''great.'' At a time when the latest, most souped-up version of something, a car or a computer program, say, is by reflex regarded as the best, Earley has had the courage to return to artistic first principles: clarity, balance, ease. Set in Depression-era North Carolina, his year-in-the-life story of a rural boyhood unmarked by parental abuse, erotic turmoil or domestic dysfunction seems strangely brave and new. Jim the Boy is a novel that does one thing memorably instead of many things forgettably.    [-New York Times Book Review] Austeniana Book Club Jane Austen:  Northanger Abbey Thursday, March 25, 7pm ~ fourth Thursdays ~ We wrap up our second round of reading Jane Austen with Northanger Abbey.  Northanger Abbey was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed for publication, although it did not actually get published until after Jane's death, some 20 years later.  Come discuss Austen's most overt criticism of the popular Gothic novel trend, while enjoying her own sharp satire of Victorian society. In April, we'll delve off into newer fields with Jane Austen in Scarsdale or Love, Death, and the SATs by Paula Marantz Cohen (2006).  A Special Concert with Alix Dobkin Saturday, April 24, 7:30pm Womyn's music legend Alix Dobkin comes to Cleveland for an intimate concert and booksigning. Her book, My Red Blood, was published last year by Alyson Publications and recounts her early years growing up in New York City in a Communist family.  She joined the Party at the height of the McCarthy era and grew up under the influence of folk musicians like Leadbelly and Pete Seeger.  When she moved to Greenwich Village she befriended Bob Dylan, Bill Cosby, John Sebastian, Buffy Ste. Marie, and Flip Wilson, among others, and added her voice to the folk movement.  Shortly thereafter, she came out as a lesbian and recorded the first openly lesbian record album in 1973, titled "Lavendar Jane Loves Women."  Come hear more about her story, and her music.  Tickets, $10.
