If you love Sense and Sensibility (with or without zombies) and Colin Firth’s wet, white shirt moment in Pride and Prejudice, come and hear a scholar of literature and popular culture, Dr. Rachel Feder, as she speaks on “Literature and the Lies We Tell” on Wednesday, September 25 at 5:00 pm in Cowles Library Reading Room. Part of the Susan Glaspell Writers & Critics Series, this talk will explore the ways in which the literature we consume, from Frankenstein to Austen’s work to the songs of Taylor Swift, shapes our personal mythologies. Q&A to follow presentation, and light refreshments will be served.
