Irish Classical Theatre Joan Didion Reading Group

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.

• Session 1 (April 12): Style as a container, especially for disaster or overwhelming events. Features a visit from Kyle LoConti, director of Irish Classical Theatre Company’s production of The Year of Magical Thinking.
