Well, it’s been a long time since I updated the Culture Club blog. There’s been a big gap between meetings, but the Culture Club is still going, have no fear.

This time we’ve decided on a Mexican theme for the works we’re looking at. Why? No reason, it just seemed to fall into place when we were bouncing around a few ideas.

Here’s the list of works we’ll be reading, listening to and discussing in the next couple of months:

• Under the Volcano – Malcolm Lowry (novel)
• The Power and the Glory – Graham Greene (novel)
• The Labyrinth of Solitude – Octavio Paz (essays)
• Mornings in Mexico – DH Lawrence (essays)
• The Plumed Serpent – D.H. Lawrence (novel)
• Studies for Player Piano – Conlon Nancarrow (music)
• El Salón Mexico – Aaron Copland (music)
