Short Story Book Discussion Series: Fatherhood - Spring 2023

 
Thursday, February 16, 2023  02:00pm  04:15pm
   

     

Join Librarian BARBARA WENGLIN as we launch our Winter-Into-Spring 2023 Zoom series using the rich anthology, /Stories of Fatherhood/, ed. by Diana Secker Tesdell (Everyman's Pocket Classics, c2014). In varied settings and cultures, the collection gathers more than a century of timeless short stories about having, becoming, loving and losing fathers. For this session, please read "My Father's Tears" by John Updike (p.327). As he returns to his working-class hometown for his 55th high school reunion, Jimmy recalls his Dad’s emotional reaction to his leaving home years before on the train to Harvard. Dates for the series: Feb. 16, March 2 & 23, April 20, May 4 & 18, June 8 & June 15 (film discussion). A copy of the book is held on reserve at the Hub/Reference Desk for reading in the Library, with circulating copies available through the catalog. Program is supported by the Friends of the Library. All are welcome!
