ONCE1207 - Strange Pieces of Paradise: The Meaning of It All (book discussion)
Course Description
What does the culture of violence against women look like in America? This course will use Terri Jentz’s novel, Strange Piece of Paradise, to examine just that. This course will take the form of a book discussion group with a critical analysis bent. Her compelling read is nothing short of a masterpiece of language, storytelling, and the revelation of what happens to women within communities unable to express what they see and hear. Fear has a stronghold on many a voice, and the author of this book captures that concept very well. Please join in this open discussion to better see what goes on across this great country, and even still, against the feminine.
