Monroe Community College’s LeRoy V. Good Library is thrilled to present Let’s Talk About It: Jewish Literature – Identity and Imagination, a reading and discussion series like no other! Through the discussion of five works encompassing the theme Between Two Worlds: Stories of Estrangement and Homecoming, the participants will examine the diverse literature of the Jewish experience. This unique program was developed by Nextbook, a gateway to Jewish literature, culture and ideas, and the American Library Association.  Let's Talk About It is a community-wide program and is open to all members of the public.

Book discussions will be held every three weeks beginning September 11, 2007, in the Forum in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center (Bldg. 3) on Monroe Community College’s Brighton Campus. Each discussion will be introduced by a short lecture and facilitated by local Jewish literature scholar Dr. Barbara Lovenheim.

The discussion books are Exodus: The Second Book of Moses, Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language, The Centaur in the Garden, Kaaterskill Falls, and Out of Egypt: A Memoir.

Let’s Talk About It: Jewish Literature, a reading and discussion series, has been made possible through a grant from Nextbook and the American Library Association.
