As longtime BookMen members know, a couple of years ago we agreed to begin discussing a non-LGBTQ selection once a quarter, usually in a third-Wednesday session. Our next one, which we'll discuss on Sept. 15, is The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony by Roberto Calasso, a classicist who died last month at the age of 80. (A tip of the hat to Patrick Flynn for recommending it.) The following obituaries should give you insights into Calasso's life and career, and background on this particular book: The Guardian, the New York Times and the Washington Post. (There are, of course, many other tributes to him out there, but these will get you started.)
