Shakespeare - David Foster Wallace - John O'Hara - Bob Dylan - romanticismpoetics & motherhood - John Barth - Lorrie Moore
We are pleased to announce our slate of 2011-2012 alumni online book discussion groups. All Penn alumni (and parents of current students) are eligible to participate. We have hosted these groups every year since 1999, and thousands of alumni have enjoyed wide-ranging conversations about books with Penn faculty.
Go here to see this year's groups. Sam Apple discusses David Foster Wallace. John Richetti, distinguished professor of English emeritus, leads a conversation about Shakespeare's sonnets. Myra Lotto and Michael Gamer team up to talk about romanticism. Patrick Bredehoft will lead a 10-day discussion of Bob Dylan's "talkin' songs." I will lead a month-long online seminar on the short fiction of John Barth. And more.
No special software or applications needed. All you need is a working email address. To register, write to whbook@writing.upenn.edu. We continue to be grateful for the generous support of David Roberts (W'83) who makes KWH Book Groups possible.
