BOOK DISCUSSION: "DOC" by Mary Doria Russell

East Granby Public Library, Neighbor

Join us for a discussion of Mary Doria Russell's novel "Doc". "Born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Dr. John Henry Holliday
arrives on the Texas frontier hoping that the dry air and sunshine of
the West will restore him to health. Soon, with few job prospects, Doc
Holliday is gambling professionally with his partner, Mária Katarina
Harony, a high-strung, classically educated Hungarian whore. In search
of high-stakes poker, the couple hits the saloons of Dodge City. And
that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and a fearless
lawman named Wyatt Earp begins— before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral
links their names forever in American frontier mythology—when neither
man wanted fame or deserved notoriety."
