OLLI Reads: A Book Discussion Group
Online
Stephen King said “Books are uniquely portable magic.” Join us on an enchanting journey with three very different literary works by Pulitzer Prize winning
authors. We’ll read Barbara Kingsolver’s updated Dickensian story set in southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead (2023 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction), which follows a boy struggling to overcome poverty, foster care and child labor. Next, we’ll look at Ed Yong, a writer for the Atlantic Monthly and described as the future of science journalism, as he takes us into a world of animal perception beyond our own very limited human comprehension in An Immense World. Finally, the classic The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, which deals with very current themes of love, family, loss and trust in childhood.
This group meets 1 time per month: Oct. 20, Nov. 17, Dec. 15
Note: OLLI membership required.
