Humanities New York Readings and Discussion Series: Place and Story: Angle of Repose
Join in a series of readings and discussion as together we’ll explore the ways in which humans and the natural world co-exist within the context of American environmental myths past and present. Through a combination of fiction and memoir, we’ll consider the ways our relationship to landscape transcends borders, politics, race, and socio-economics--and the ways in which it brings inequities into sharp relief.
Facilitator: Kelly McMasters, Assistant Professor of English + Director of Publishing Studies, Hofstra University
Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner
According to naturalist Rick Bass, this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “considers the balance between uplift and erosion, between mountain and plains, between the frenzy of ambition and the contentment of rest.”
Presented by Hofstra Cultural Center and the Department of English
Sponsored by a Humanities New York Vision/Action Grant.
