This July, I’m leading a free and open-to-the-public reading group on Sophocles’ Antigone at the Devereaux Library in Grayling, Michigan. Readers in Northern Michigan are welcome to join our group as we discuss this classic Greek tragedy about war, family, and the law. (Of course, we will read an English translation!) We’ll meet three times, each day at 5pm until 6:30pm: Monday, July 17; Wednesday, July 19; and Monday, July 24.
I’ll be running the seminar a bit like my own humanities courses at Columbia, and we’ll consider some of the fundamental questions and issues presented in Sophocles’ enduring drama. Anyone interested should get in touch soon since we only have space for about 15 readers!
