A Closer Look Book Club
Here at the Poetry Center, it’s our job to keep up with new writers and new directions in writing. Maybe that explains why, when we think of relaxing summer books, the canon comes to mind. Come relax with us this summer with venerable Herman Melville and good old Jane Austen.
"The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade"
by Herman Melville
with Tony Luebbermann
Thursday, June 11, 5:30 p.m.
"The Confidence-Man" is the last work of fiction Melville wrote before turning exclusively to poetry. The entire novel is available on Google Books.
"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
with Cybele Knowles
Thursday, July 9, 5:30 p.m.
Because it’s been a long time since you read it in undergrad. Because it’s funny. Because it has a happy ending. Because the book is way better than the movies. Because the entire novel is available online from Google Books.
