Last Thursday we had a wonderful turnout for the monthly 50 Minutes-1 Book lunchtime talk. Greg Hand, UC’s Associate Vice President for Government Relations and University Communications, spoke on the 1943 Cincinnati Guide in the federal Writer’s Project program. It was an excellent presentation that put this seminal Cincinnati book in the context of the Great Depression, national politics, and local history.
Please join us next month, January 19th, to hear Jerry Newman talk about a key book in Western literature, Miguel Cervantes’ Don Quixote. February’s presentation will be on Oscar Wilde’s Salome. The 50 Minutes-1 Book lunch talks are held in the Schott Seminar Room, 814 Blegen Library, Archives & Rare Books Library from 12-12:50.
