Masterclass: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

June 30, 2009

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

with Jane Davis, Director of The Reader Organisation

25th August, Liverpool

19 Abercromby Square, Liverpool, L69 7ZG

 

What have I to leave you but the ruins of old courage, and the lore of old gallantry and hope?  

 

If Wordsworth were to be reborn as a twentieth century American, Gilead is the book he would write. Human, humane, real, devout, and connecting the inner spiritual with the outer public life, this moving novel was mentioned by Barack Obama as a favourite.

 

While you read this, I am imperishable, somehow more alive than I have ever been.

 

Jane Davis is Founder and Director of The Reader Organisation, a charity on a mission to bring about a reading revolution, making the content of great books available to all. Jane’s talent, energy, and belief in the value of reading are an inspiration to all who meet her: don’t miss this chance to experience the power of the reading revolution for yourself!

    CORRECTION:

    Having consulted with the University’s building manager, our response to the question of wheelchair access needs to be corrected. While there are disabled facilities, access may be a problem in some cases.

    If you are a wheelchair user, please get in touch with Casi Dylan (casidylan@thereader.org.uk or 0151 794 2830) for more detailed information and to discuss how we can best accommodate your needs.
