New York Tri-State Network: UCLA/CAL Book Club: "Foucault's Pendulum," by Umberto Eco
Wed 1/7 • 7:30PM PST
Zoom
To prepare for the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, our book group has selected the following book set in Milan: Bored with their work, three Milanese editors cook up "the Plan," a hoax that connects the medieval Knights Templar with other occult groups from ancient to modern times. This produces a map indicating the geographical point from which all the powers of the earth can be controlled — a point located in Paris, France, at Foucault’s Pendulum. But in a fateful turn the joke becomes all too real, and when occult groups get wind of the Plan, they go so far as to kill one of the editors in their quest to gain control of the earth. Join us on Zoom for this peer-led discussion. Newcomers are always welcome!
