Great Books meets every other Thursday evening, September through June. This year's selections come from The 7 Deadly Sins Sampler. One copy of the collection will be available for checkout.
Tonight's discussion will be William Faulkner's 'A Rose for Emily.' This selection can be read in American Gothic Tales and The Oxford Book of Gothic tales. Both are available for checkout from Keene Public Library.
Using a method of collaborative, question-driven discussion,
members enjoy the opportunity to reflect on their own lives and
convictions in light of ideas from major thinkers. Participants are
directed by “non-expert” lay leaders.
