Two Storytellers...Very Southern...Very Talented
This month the library's book discussion club will read and talk about two books: Losing Battles by Eudora Welty and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.Ms. Welty wrote many short stories and other novels. Ms. Lee wrote only this book. (If you are to write one book, To Kill a Mockingbird seems the best choice.)After reading both of them, they might seem to have only the region (the South) in common, but perhaps our club members will discuss how both books are concerned with Family and how our families instill our values and how we connect with the people around us...or maybe we will talk about how Lee's book, so gracefully written, leaves us with warmth and hope and Welty's book, not an easy read at all, leaves us with dark thoughts and unease.Stay tuned...
