Book Discussion Group with author Jody West
Tuesday, October 18, 2016
10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Discussion Topic:
"Darkness at First Light"
Book discussion is about the themes in "Darkness at First Light"—guided questions starting with John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the symbol of darkness, the opening paragraph, darkness as in individuality, morality, society and criminality. Darkness vs. Light. (i.e. law enforcement). And, of course, murder—the darkness about which she writes and many read. Why do we seek the darkness?
Join Jody for this interesting discussion!
