All readers are invited to attend tonight’s discussion of All Aunt Hagar’s Children, by Edward P. Jones.   Published in 2006, this is a collection of 14 short stories.  Edward P. Jones, a prodigy of the short story, returns to the form that first won him praise in this new collection. Here he turns an unflinching eye to the men, women, and children caught between the old ways of the South and the temptations that await them in the city, people who in Jones's masterful hands emerge as fully human and morally complex. With the legacy of slavery just a stone's throw behind them and the future uncertain, Jones's cornucopia of characters will haunt readers for years to come. Copies of the book are available to borrow at Prosser one month prior to the discussion date. Registration is appreciated, online or by calling 960-243-9721.
