Bucket List Books
It's time for good literature and discussion with other book lovers. This session we will study THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET by Sandra Cisneros which covers a year in the life of Esperanza, a 12-year-old Chicana; next we'll take up THE TRIAL, Franz Kafka's classic tale of a man arrested for an unidentified crime; then we'll move to THE GIVER OF STARS by Jo Jo Moyes, a fictionalized account of librarians who delivered books to remote regions in the Appalachians; and finally we will delve into T. H. White's THE SWORD IN THE STONE, the first volume of The Once and Future King, which introduces us to young Wart, tutored by Merlyn the Magician.

Everyday Epiphanies: Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty
Fiction often reveals that life's allegedly meaningless moments are actually replete with significance -- one might even say grace, divine as well as human grace. This class examines the life and literary art of two writers from the American South, Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor, probing how their short stories move between the mundane and the monumental. The class will read selected short fiction, available from the instructor.
