In the great tradition of lawyers turned writers (Kafka, Henry Fielding, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Strout, and so on), Daniel Mueenuddin is a graduate of Yale Law School, but his passion is writing. Join us to discuss This Is Where the Serpent Lives; his prior collection of short stories, In Other Rooms, Other Wonders, was longlisted for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. In this debut novel, four separate stories in Pakistan interconnect across generations to weave a tale of ambition, love, corruption, and social change. From chauffeurs and aristocrats to gangsters and the Western-educated elite, Mueenuddin explores the complexities of Pakistani society with insight, humor, and remarkable storytelling. The Guardian praised the book as an “epic of power and class across generations in Pakistan [that] is brutal, funny and brilliantly told.” We agree! The Yale Club of Vermont now invites all Yalies to join us for these virtual book gatherings. Many of our clubs include members spread across remote islands, mountain towns, and wooded communities, where coming together online offers a meaningful way to connect. Alumni from across the region — and others who find their way to us — are warmly welcome. Join us on Zoom on Wednesday, August 19, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. for a lively discussion. Questions?
