IN-PERSON BOOK DISCUSSION IN NEW YORK ON MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 2026
For our New York Metro Area members, our next in-person book discussion will held on Monday, January 26, 2026 at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan (specific location to be announced — suggestions for suitable locations are welcome).
We will be discussing the Nero Wolfe novel In the Best Families (1950). This is the third of the three novels featuring Mr. Wolfe’s arch-nemesis Arnold Zeck, and features some of the most memorable moments of the entire Corpus.
Prepayment is not necessary, but if you plan to attend, please let us know by e-mailing werowance -at- nerowolfe.org so we can give the restaurant a headcount. We hope to see many of you there!
