ICC “BETWEEN THE LINES” PROGRAM EXPLORES THE MEANING OF FAMILY IN TAYARI JONES’ NOVEL SILVER SPARROW
Join Illinois Central College’s “Between the Lines” program
as professors Paul Resnick and Margot Vance, Peoria Public Library Assistant Director Roberta Koscielski, and Wayne Cannon of
Commonplace explore the meaning of family in Tayari Jones’ novel Silver Sparrow. Be part of the
discussion about parent and teenage relations, the meaning of family, and the
great writing in this novel on Tues., March 7 at 7 pm in the Arbor
Auditorium on the ICC North Campus, located at 5407 N. University St. in
Peoria.
This beautifully written novel is about two half-sisters and
a bigamist father who tries to keep both families from connecting in 1980s
Atlanta. The first half of the novel is told through the eyes of one
half-sister and the second half is told through the eyes of the other half
sister.
“Between the Lines” is a lecture series
presented by the faculty members of the English, Humanities and Language
Studies Department at ICC. The goal of the series is to offer literary
presentations which will interest students and people in the community as well
as promote reading literacy and scholarly study.
The programs are
free and open to the public.
