Book Discussion:  “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, led by Rev. Bill Graves and CWU Librarian, Gerard Hogan, Thurs. Feb. 16, 7-8:30pm.

This book is a groundbreaking meditation on war in our time.   It is prose that heads to the nerve center of our Viet Nam disaster and it calls to us to not forget the lessons experienced there.  It is part of a “Big Read” organized by Dr. Hogan who has received a grant to support distribution of copies of the book and events focused on it and other pro-peace media.  It will culminate in a visit to the CWU campus by author Tim O’Brien later in the Spring.  The wider community will be invited to participate in this class.   Get early copies of the book at the library or your local bookstore.
