War and the Humanities: A Reading Group In-Person
This group meets twice a month to discuss books about war from humanities sources: fiction, poetry, memoir, and more. Books are provided as well as refreshments. For July, we will be reading Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character by Jonathan Shay. Looking at the narratives of Vietnam combat veterans through the lens of Homer's Iliad, Shay explores overlooked experiences in war--betrayal, grief, and berserk rage--to argue for the modern relevance and therapeutic value of the famous Greek epic. After registering, stop in at the Edinboro Branch to pick up your copy. Book contains graphic language.
Registration has closed. (This event has to be booked as part of a series)
