One Book USR Wednesday, January 30, 7:30 p.m. The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman We’re trying something new to the group for our next
discussion— a fantasy. “We're used to fantasy literature either warily
skirting religion (as in J.K. Rowling's work) or subtextually stumping for it (as in C.S. Lewis').
We're not used to fantasy taking on religion foursquare. But to be fair, it's not religion that Pullman has a problem with, exactly,
or religious believers; it's what happens when religion mixes with politics. ‘Religion is at its best when it is furthest from political power,’ he says.” (Time, Nov. 29, 2007) A New York Times bestseller, Carnegie Medal Award Winner, Publishers Weekly Best Book. All are welcome to join us for lively discussion at the
home of Harry and |
