ONCE BANNED, NOW CLASSIC BOOK DISCUSSION SERIES AT MERIDEN LIBRARY
November 22, 2009
Meriden Public Library and the Connecticut Humanities Council will begin the book discussion series "Once banned, now classic" in January 2010. A book, it is often said, reflects the society in which it was written. This may be especially true when the society denies the reflection and censures the book. The four works in this series, all banned at the time of publication, are now accepted as classics of American literature. Join moderator Marsha Bansavage on Tuesdays in the Griffin Room from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. to examine questions about changes in attitude, what led the authors to create these works, censorship, rights and creativity.The schedule will be: - January 26, 2010 -"The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger - February 23, 2010 -"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: by Mark Twain - March 23, 2010 - "Native Son" by Richard Wright - April 27, 2010 -"The Awakening" by Kate Chopin
The program is free and all are invited. Contact the Community Services Department at (203) 630-6349 or email comsvc@hotmail.com to sign up for participation in the book discussion series.
