[Libri] Center for the Book events start this week

[der Geist, der stets verneint]

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings.  We hope the new semester is off to a good start for you.

The Hampshire College Center for the Book, too, is about to begin its new
cycle of activities, starting this week.


SPRING FILM SERIES:  LOVE AND BOOKS

€ Thurs., 19 February, 7:00 p.m.

³84 CHARING CROSS ROAD²

 ³a heartfelt story about two people from different ends of the world,
finding a passion they share ­ books. Helene (Anne Bancroft) is a New York
writer with a knack for old, used books. She sends a letter to a small
British bookstore inquiring about some rare classics. Frank Doel (Anthony
Hopkins) answers her letter, and thus begins a correspondence that spans two
continents and two decades.²

(the perfect follow-up to the "Girl Printers" exhibit opening at Smith
College that afternoon)


Other tentative dates in the film series:

11 March, 8 April, 22 April


THE OPEN SEMINAR

€ 25 March:  discussion of Orhan Pamuk's novel, _My Name is Red_
€ 29 April:  Simone Weil Davis (Five-College Women's Center)


Unless stated otherwise, all the above events take place on Thursday
evenings, at 7:00 p.m.:  seminars, in Emily Dickinson 4; films in Franklin
Patterson Hall East Lecture Hall.

Thank you very much.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Jim Wald
(for the Center)
