SUMMARY:Exhibitionists Book Club: St. Lucy's Home for Girl's Raised by Wolves
DESCRIPTION:When Karen Russel’s debut short story collection fell onto our collective psyches in 2006\, it made some lasting alterations to the landscape of literature. A singularly weird and raucous vision. Come with us as we check in on it on its twentieth anniversary and reflect with it in conjunction with Shelburne Museum’s exhibit of On Point: Needlework from the Garthwaite Family Collection. This book/exhibit discussion will take place at the Pierson Library and be facilitated by Shelburne Museum’s Kat Redniss. And mark your calendars for June 4th\, when Kat will lead the Exhibitionists on a creative response at our partner’s library in Charlotte. Copies available at the first-floor circulation desk.
