The book, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, is the focus of Pageturners book club's February 2013 selection. Pageturners, Schoolcraft College’s book discussion group, is offering four different opportunities to discuss and experience this Truman Capote classic, including an opportunity to enjoy the movie version produced in 1961.
In this seductive, wistful masterpiece novella written in 1958, Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape. Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany’s; her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day and to kick of this month’s events, students, faculty, staff and the community can enjoy a screening of the movie version of Breakfast at Tiffany’s on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. in the McDowell Center on the college’s main campus in Livonia. The movie, starring Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and John McGive, does take some liberties with Capote’s original novella, which can make for an interesting comparison for Pageturners discussion group participants.
The book will be discussed Monday, Feb.  18, at 4 p.m. and again Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 1:30 p.m. in the Bradner Library on the college’s main campus in Livonia, and Thursday, Feb. 21 at 4 p.m. at the Radcliff Center in Garden City. The book discussions and movie screening are free and open to the public. The book is available at significant discount at the Schoolcraft College Bookstore.
