Literature is a strange sort of mirror, discovering meaning behind coincidence and a sense of wholeness between seemingly unrelated parts.
Good literature is replete with the undertones and undercurrents that always lie submerged beneath the ordinary and that tie all events to the universal and archetypal experiences of human life. These experiences are what William Faulkner has called “the problems of the human heart”.
Good literature is what the upcoming program of book lectures, entitled “Changing Voices,” is about. The program will meet five times in March and April to discuss books by four well-known southern authors. Before the lectures dinner will be served at Brambles Cafe in Washington. The dinners, which are a major part of the event, will be served at a reasonable cost. The lectures are free and open to the public.
During the program, themes will be explored, nuances uncovered and symbols examined. Why, for example, is William Faulkner’s “twicebloomed” wisteria such a haunting symbol for the South? And what is the meaning of the theme of sins coming home to roost, as so relentlessly portrayed by Robert Penn Warren?
