"Only Connect!"

Serendipitously, E.M. Forster's famous exhortation finds fertile ground in our current reading list. Our friend Octavio Roca was kind enough to pass along word that Matthew Lopez (whose play, The Inheritance, we'll be discussing on July 1), pays tribute in Variety to the late, great Larry Kramer, Terrence McNally and Mart Crowley. Octavio also notes that our July 15 selection, Forster's science fiction short story, "The Machine Stops," is available in The Eternal Moment and Other Stories.
