SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Lynn Stegner’s “The Half-Life of Guilt”
DESCRIPTION:Green Foothills invites you to the first of two events featuring Lynn Stegner’s book The Half-Life of Guilt. The first event is a virtual kickoff conversation on Wednesday\, August 12 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom. \nWhether you’ve read one page\, a few chapters\, or the entire book\, or even if you haven’t cracked open the book yet\, you’re welcome to join us for this relaxed virtual gathering introducing The Half-Life of Guilt by Lynn Stegner. As the daughter-in-law of Pulitzer-prize winning author Wallace Stegner\, one of the founders of Green Foothills\, Lynn offers a unique perspective on the enduring connection between people\, place\, and conservation. \nWhat to Expect\nDuring this event\, we’ll explore the novel’s central themes\, discuss how they connect to Green Foothills’ mission\, and prepare for meeting the author in-person later this fall. \nReading the entire book is not required for this first event\, though we encourage you to read a little beforehand if you’re able. This casual\, come-as-you-are conversation is designed to spark curiosity and share first impressions. There will be plenty of opportunities to reflect\, ask questions\, and hear what stood out to others\, no matter where you are in your reading journey. \nThis is the first of two events where we’ll discuss the book. In mid-October\, we’ll welcome Lynn to the Peninsula for an intimate in-person “Meet the Author” event featuring a conversation with the author\, audience Q&A\, and a book signing. We recommend reading all or most of the book before the October event so you can fully enjoy the discussion with Lynn. \nWe hope you’ll join us for one or both events as we celebrate literature\, legacy\, and our shared connection to the landscapes that inspire and sustain us. \nThis event is free of charge\, but advance registration is required. Please fill out the registration form separately for each attendee.
