The Moviegoer by Walker Percy

Posted on February 1, 2017December 19, 2018 by Elisabeth Harvey

This is a funny book! Yet also very deep. Audible has a nice performance of this — check it out here!  Binx Bolling is quite a Bourbon Street dandy! What do you think he is seeking in all the movies he watches? Why is he fascinated with actors? Or is he?? As someone wrote in…

The Conversatio Is Starting a New Series – Fall 2016

Posted on August 18, 2016April 1, 2017 by Elisabeth Harvey

Next month (on September 27th) we will begin a tour through Southern Gothic literature (1930s – 1960s). We are starting with the little known novella, The Member of the Wedding, by Carson McCullers. I have always enjoyed her work more than O’Connor’s, but McCullers has been overshadowed by the popularity of Flannery O ‘Connor. This book is…

Posted on October 3, 2015November 21, 2015 by Elisabeth Harvey

We are beginning a new season of the Conversatio, and I am very excited about this, as we are reading something this month that I’ve always wanted to study a bit more: Til We Have Faces!  It takes more than just one cursory reading to understand why Lewis considered it his best work of fiction!…

The April Poetry Celebration is over now, but we are not done relishing poetry! I am thrilled to be taking Grace’s Poetry Matters workshop with others. I look forward to dwelling on the words of great poets and learning to understand them better. Just now I’m sitting on the deck listening to the warbling of…
