| Details | Seymour Public Library is excited to participate in The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries, a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migrations, and diaspora. In this program librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library. The book discussed on March 19th will be “The Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives” edited by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Viet Thanh Nguyen, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Sympathizer”, fled as a child with most of his family to the United States in 1975 after the fall of Saigon. This book contains 17 stories petitioned by Viet Thanh Nguyen from fellow refugees – each narrating the individual author’s experience of displacement. Selections from this work will be discussed. To register for this free discussion series or for more information about the series please email sgarvey@biblio.org or call 203 – 888-3903 ext. 5 This series is made possible due to support from The Yiddish Book Center. The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin. |
