CIRCE, a Zoom Book Talk with author Madeline Miller

Come join us on Wednesday, May 19th at 7 pm, for this wonderful Zoom event,  to go with this year’s Falmouth Reads Together-a discussion with the author herself!
 
We are excited to present Madeline Miller to discuss her New York Times bestselling book, CIRCE.  
 
“A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess’s story that manages to be both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right.”―The New York Times
 
“Miller follows her impressive debut (The Song of Achilles) with a spirited novel about Circe’s evolution from insignificant nymph to formidable witch best known for turning Odysseus’s sailors into swine…. Weaving together Homer’s tale with other sources, Miller crafts a classic story of female empowerment. She paints an uncompromising portrait of a superheroine who learns to wield divine power while coming to understand what it means to be mortal.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

A Call for ART …

The Greek Goddess, Circe has inspired artists for thousands of years. She appears on clay pots, on canvas, she is depicted in marble and metal. She has been etched, painted, sculpted and drawn. 

As you read Circe, by Madeline Miller, we invite you to explore your creative impressions.

Working with the Falmouth Art Center, the Library will be co-hosting an exhibit of artistic responses to Circe.  The exhibit can include two and three dimensional pieces.  Drop your work off at the Falmouth Art Center on Gifford Street between 10:00 and 4:00 on Thursday, May 6th.
