Explore Literature with Dr. Mark Schenker: "Out Stealing Horses" (Online)

The Ridgefield Library is pleased to welcome Dr Mark Schenker this fall as he presents a series of online lectures on novels that engage the themes of curiosity and exploration.

Dr. Schenker, formerly of Yale College and a frequent lecturer at the Library, concludes the series with the remarkable Norwegian novel Out Stealing Horses (2003) in which self-exploration and the Second World War meet in the story of Trond Sander. Trond, a sixty-something man, has moved into the isolated woods of eastern Norway, retiring from his work life but not from the memories of his past.  Please register for the Zoom link.

This program is part of the Library’s fall scholarly series, The Curious Mind: Exploration and Discovery, which is made possible by the generosity of the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
