Monday Night Fiction
presents "The Things they Carried" by Tim O’Brien, discussion led by Dr. Lydia Kualapai, professor of English, Schreiner University. “In any war story, but especially a true one, it’s difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. What seems to happen becomes its own happening and has to be told that way. The angles of vision are skewed. When a booby trap explodes, you close your eyes and duck and float outside yourself . . . . The pictures get jumbled, you tend to miss a lot. And then afterward, when you go to tell about it, there is always that surreal seemingness, which makes the story seem untrue, but which in fact represents the hard and exact truth as it seemed.” (quote from the author) "The Things They Carried" is Tim O’Brien’s beautiful, anguished collection of linked stories about Vietnam. In it, he blends diverse voices and events into an unforgettable portrayal of war and the people who fight it. Migling fact with fiction, telling and retelling events from different point of view, the book is as much about war as it is about the difference between truth and reality.

Monday Night Fiction
presents "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, discussion led by Dr. Adam Feltz, professor of Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies, Schreiner University. Cormac McCarthy, who could turn the instructions for operating a microware over into something resembling a King James Bible, ventures here in his own way into science fiction. "The Road" is a post-atomic apocalypse novel, as we’ve never see it before. A blast has changed the world forever. The clock stopped at 1:17, we hear. A long shear of light and then a series of low concussions. Survivors suffer from endless physical and psychic concussions. Among these are a father and son traveling from north to south on the East Coast of the United States. The man’s wife has committed suicide and since then, man and boy have been on the road salvaging what they can in a region ravaged by pitiless cannibals, their travels circumscribed by gray, sunless days and nights that are sightless and impenetrable. As readers, we do something similar, reading our way into a scenario in which light is spare, danger ever present and the only hope, the possibility of the remnants, food and clothing and shelter, of a civilization that will never return. On this road we hear there are no Gods, spoke men. They are gone. The only one speaking remotely like a God is the writer himself, shoring old linguistic ruins against the bleakness. (Alan Cheuse, NPR’s All Things Considered).
7pm in Logan Library's Scarle-Philips Room

Dr. Jay T. McCormack, CCIM EMBA, Visiting Assistant Professor of Business.

The lecture/discussion will be anchored by a lively, as well as a very informative and creative fictional debate between John Mayanard Keynes and F A Hayek . . .capturing the audience’s toe-tapping attention through the sweet riffs of rap.
7:00 pm, CCAC Ballrooms
