BVRlit, Beaver’s book club for the BVR parent/guardian community, is excited to share our selection for our winter read. Our selection is currently being taught as part of the 11th grade English curriculum in the course “The View Outside.”  The discussion, which will be led by Lisa Brown, English Department Head, and Lesley Colognesi, Director of Academic Support Services & College Counselor, promises to be thought-provoking and engaging*. *Please note that some of the essays in this book deal with difficult themes, including violence and death.

ABOUT THE BOOK SELECTION Intimations By Zadie Smith Intimations is a new collection of six essays written during the early months of lockdown this past spring. In just under 100 pages, the book explores ideas and questions prompted by an unprecedented situation. What does it mean to submit to a new reality—or to resist it? How do we compare relative sufferings? What is the relationship between time and work? In our isolation, what do other people mean to us? Click here to learn more. If you need a copy of the book, please email Jill Henson at jhenson@bcdschool.org.
