Description
Recently chosen by a New York Times panel as the best American novel of the past 25 years, Toni Morrison's Beloved fulfills the criteria of a contemporary classic: an aesthetic pleasure and an intellectual challenge, a work better studied in a group than pondered alone, and an art form for the ages containing essential revelations about our culture. Published in 1987, Beloved is recognized as the most important novel about slavery since Faulkner's Go Down, Moses. More than that, it portrays the struggles of Sethe, one of the most memorable heroines in all literature, and Paul D, a freed slave like Sethe who must find a way for them both to create a future out of an almost unbearable past.
The class is open to members of the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, as well non-members. Prices vary for the four-day series
Tuition: - members $60 - nonmembers $75 - teachers $20
