Let's Talk About It: Jewish Literature Reading and
Discussion Series Offered in Fall

The University Library hosts a free, five-part reading and discussion series called "Let's Talk About It: Jewish Literature - Identity and Imagination" during the fall semester. The series explores Jewish literature and culture through scholar-led discussions of contemporary and classic books on the theme "Between Two Worlds: Stories of Estrangement and Homecoming."

"It is a great opportunity for students and community members to share in close dialogue - all under the guidance of our dedicated scholar, Anne Goldman, from the English department," said Karen Brodsky, University Library Arts and Lectures Program Director.

Each program begins with a brief lecture by Goldman, after which participants will exchange their own responses to and ideas about the featured reading. Participants will have access to each book, so participation is limited. The first program will explore Exodus, the Second Book of Moses on September 25 from noon to 2 p.m. in Schulz 3001. The remaining books and dates are as follows: Lost in Translation by Eva Hoffman on October 2; Moacyr Scliar's The Centaur in the Garden on October 30; Allegra Goodman's Kaaterskill Falls on November 13; and Out of Egypt by AndrZ Aciman on December 4.
