The Czech/American Reading Circle

      ​The Nebraska Czechs of Lincoln are proud to sponsor the Czech/American Reading Circle.  Started in January, 2019, the Reading Circle shares significant books about, by, for, and important to, people of Czech Heritage.

      Attendees are not required to have read the book being discussed, however, it helps to have some familiarity with it, and we encourage all participants to contribute any relevant information they may have.

Please join us!   The circle meets the last Tuesday of each month (except December) at 6:15 pm central time
on ZOOM.   Everyone is welcome.   

      ​​Please contact the following or any Board Member for additional information and/or to get your Zoom Link.

SUMMARY:

This energetic and hilarious novel is made even more important by the current final thawing of the long, Communist winter in Czechoslovakia. Moving between 1948, when our hero Danny Smiřický falls asleep in church while a miraculous event occurs, and 1968, when he observes the miracle of Prague Spring, The Miracle Game is a sharp look at the strange, sad, and silly things people do to survive.
