I began to realize that all my life I've been leaving myself breadcrumbs. It didn't matter that I didn't always know what I was walking toward. It was worthwhile, I told myself, just trying to see clearly, even if it took me years to understand what I was trying to see. -- Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-DelusionLooking for something engrossing and inspiring to read over the holidays? Check out the list of titles for discussion in 2020, posted on the right. All share a powerful theme of bearing witness, whether it be to our current cultural and political moment or to an event that occurred decades ago, to our own thoughts and experiences or to those of others. Bearing witness is essentially why we write and why we read.
We hope you will join the discussions: The first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at Main Library (although in November we will meet on the second Tuesday of the month so that you can go bear witness by voting on Election Day); the third Thursday of the month at 11:00 a.m. at West Ashley Branch Library; and here on the blog.
