So too, The Handmaid's Tale and The Baron in the Trees. Apparently so dissimilar, and yet when set beside one another, they couple perfectly. Atwood's tale is a dystopian fable of the near future. It is a harsh nightmare set in a totalitarian theocracy, the former United States. It is a story of subjugation. Calvino's tale is a utopian fable of a not-too-distant past. It is a gentle dream set in the lush tree tops of 18th century Italy. It is a love story. Key West in the winter coupled with extraordinary books, lively discussions, walks and talks, and plenty of time to play - it feels utopian. READINGS Baron of the Trees by Italo Calvino The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Discussion Leader(s): For 25 years, Gary Schoepfel has led and taught folks how to lead book discussion groups. According to Bertolt Brecht, "Nothing needs less justification than pleasure." Gary will not deny himself the pleasures of this Key West excursion! No justification necessary. He hopes you'll join him. George Fontana is a long-time resident of Key West and fondly referred to by all as Uncle George. He sings, he sails, and he is deeply involved in the arts and culture of the town. He will take us to places and introduce us to people we would not normally meet.
