Hotchkiss School Instructor Teaches a Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel
Beginning on July 7,
Hotchkiss School
instructor Carita Gardiner will partner with
Noble Horizons
to offer a "virtual book club" in which participants will read the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel,
Less
, by Andrew Sean Greer.
Less
was a national bestseller, and on the New York Times, Washington Post and San Francisco Chronicle top book lists for 2017. While telling the satirical story of a struggling novelist traveling the world to avoid an awkward wedding, it offers a rumination on time and the human heart. Christopher Buckley wrote in The New York Times Book Review, "It's no less than bedazzling, bewitching and be-wonderful."
Gardiner is a fo
rmer Chair of the Hotchkiss School English Department and holds a B.A., from Amherst College, an M.Ed. from Harvard University, and an M.A. from Middlebury College. The free classes meet via Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30-11:30 am through July 23. Registration for a zoom link is at

Voices to Be Heard
Conversations on the Green
by JOSEPH MONTEBELLO
It all began eight years ago as a means to raise money for local charities and to bring speakers of note to the Litchfield Hills. Thus, thanks to Jane Whitney and her husband Lindsey Gruson, Conversations on the Green was born.
