"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall"

Thursday, March 18, at 1:00 pm

OPEN TO MEMBERS - FREE


The Literature Committee invites you to join us for the next installment in the short story reading-and-discussion series to be held Thursday, March 18, at 1:00 p.m.--"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne Porter--in celebration of March as Women's History Month.  

This beautifully written and insightful story, along with others, won Porter the Pulitzer Prize and the U.S. National Book Award in 1966.  The story was adapted into a 55-minute PBS film, starring Geraldine Fitzgerald as Granny, that you can access on the website of the DC Public Library.  (Go to Access Video under Databases and search on the story title). 

Please join us for the reading and discussion.  RSVP online today!

Participants will take turns reading the story aloud, in round-robin fashion, and discuss it afterward.  Literature Committee member and librarian Bill Turner will facilitate.  You won't want to miss this one.

A Zoom link for the meeting will be sent to participants before the event.
