DUNCAN, Okla. – The Chisholm Trail Heritage Center is hosting Let’s Talk About It, a book club for people who share a love of reading at 7 p.m. Aug. 12, Sept. 9, Oct. 14 and Nov. 11 at CTHC.
Let’s Talk About It is a dynamic book club organized by Oklahoma Humanities that has connected curious readers across the state since 1985. Made Possible by an OH grant and generous funding and support from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund and Oklahoma City University, this program is free and open to all.
This event is part of a 5-part discussion series in the Gilded Age theme. Books include The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain; The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane; The Awakening by Kate Chopin; The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. DuBois; and Call of the Wild by Jack London. Books may be borrowed from the center and must be returned by the last book club session.
“We’ve had our first discussion for this series already, and it was full of lively discussion,” said Edie Stewart, CTHC educator and LTAI project director. “I’m really excited to see what everyone has to say about the rest of the books.”
Participants can join CTHC for one session or the entire series as experts open each book discussion with an analysis of the text, its recurring themes, revelations about the author’s life, and historical context.
“We are looking forward to discussing these books with all of our participants,” said Leah Mulkey, CTHC assistant director. “This program is a great way for us to provide a fun, enriching opportunity for the community. We hope people are excited about book club and join us!”
