Join Sherry Robbins for a 3-session exploration of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking. Each session will focus on Didion’s style, and themes which include style as a container, loss in all its meanings, and how, when, and why we all resort to magical thinking. Lively discussion is welcome. A writing prompt will be given before each session for those who like to respond creatively. Time will be allotted for sharing that work at the end of the following session.
This virtual book group is in conjunction with the Irish Classical Theatre Company’s (ICTC) staging of a professionally produced, fully staged performance of The Year of Magical Thinking, filmed at ICTC’s home, the Andrews Theatre, and available for streaming April 9–25, 2021.
