2021 AUDACIOUS READ

One Hundred Years of Solitude

by Gabriel García Márquez

 Fourth Tuesday of Each Month | 3:00-4:00 p.m. | Zoom

Of Gabriel García Márquez, the writer Salman Rushdie said, “No writer in the world has had a comparable impact in the last half-century.” In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1982, García Márquez stated, “In spite of [. . .] oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life [. . . . W]e the  inventors of tales, who will believe anything, feel entitled to believe that it is not yet too late to engage in the creation of [. . . . a] new and sweeping utopia of life [. . .] where love will prove true and happiness be possible.” His novel One Hundred Years of Solitude invites an extended reading to be immersed in the world of a mythical village in Colombia and multiple generations of the Buendía family.

We will read and discuss the novel at a pace of about 50 pages per month so that we can read deeply, find connections, and be absorbed by the world that he creates.

ZOOM – Drop-In Lunchtime Writing Workshop

by

REGISTER HERE

Join us every other Tuesday, June 15 through December 14, for a drop-in virtual writing workshop, led by Martha Williams, the Library’s programs and education manager.

Each workshop begins with a warm-up prompt, then moves into a prompt that we will work with for the remainder of the hour. These free-form writing exercises are designed for writers of all genres–poetry, fiction, short fiction, nonfiction, and memoir. 

After each exercise we’ll share, discuss, and give each other feedback before moving onto another prompt or diving deeper into what we’ve created. We will also encourage a writing practice and share details of a writerly life together.

Register on Zoom for one or all workshops.
