The Dickens Fellowship of New York
Meetings
All are welcome at our regular monthly meetings! Our Fellowship invites new members, from all walks of life and all levels of interest in the philosophies and writings of celebrated novelist Charles Dickens!
Our meetings are held, via Zoom on the third Saturday of each month, from 1-4PM. For the link to our Zoom meetings, email admin@dickensnewyork.com. We invite you to read and discuss our current title, The Old Curiosity Shop.
Our monthly reading sessions begin promptly at 1PM EST, with a welcoming and brief announcements. Our honorable Vice President, Mark Halperin, serves as Discussion Moderator, as Fellowship members volunteer to give their excellent analyses of different Dickensian novel chapters. We are most grateful for both their professionalism and their willingness to present. Our reading sessions usually cover six or seven chapters, each typically read by a different member and followed by a set of Q&A discussions. We allow a 15-minute comfort break, midway through the chapter presentations. Upon conclusion of our reading session, the meeting is closed, promptly, by 4PM.
