 Friends of the Haywood Library Present:
Let's Talk About It Series:
Destruction or Redemption: Images of Romantic Love
Starting August 14, 2007 at 7 pm
At the Waynesville Public Library Auditorium
(Continuing every other Tuesday night for five sessions over ten weeks)
Let’s Talk About It . . . about life and love and work and people and ideas –it’s all in books and it will come to your library. Each of the five sessions brings together avid readers and an eminent North Carolina humanities scholar. Together, participants go on a trail of enlightenment as they discuss the nuances and relevancy of books at hand.
Such a transcendent force as romantic love can have great power to destroy or redeem, and this ambiguity is a central theme in these five novels. Perhaps the most basic aspect of this kind of love is its potential to transform us in some way, however briefly.
