At this session we will discuss two brief\ , compelling selections combining fantasy and realism: &ldquo\;Continuity of Parks&rdquo\; by Julio Cortazar (p.175)\, set in a lush estate study\, leaves the reader pondering what is real and and what is part of the plot of the novel within the story. &ldquo\;The Public Library&rdquo\; by Isaac Babel (p.195) reveals the important role of the public library for its re maining patrons and staff \;during wartime -- \;WWI in the story.< /p>\n
Copies of the series anthology\, Stories of Books and Librarie s\, are available to reserve through the catalo g with one held at the Reference Desk for reading in the Library. Thes e vibrant and varied selections by diverse authors pay tribute to the writ ten word in works published throughout history\, to their readers\, and to the intriguing spaces that house them. We will meet Thursdays from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m on 1/2/25\, and 1/23/25 (final film discussion). \; \;\n
