Brattleboro ~ Celebrate "Star Wars Day" as the final Vermont Humanities Council Lecture of the season examines The Force of a Story Told in Parts: Star Wars, Fandom and Seriality. From Dickens to Game of Thrones, stories told in piecemeal style have shown their power to command a reader's attention. In this aptly scheduled talk author Anne Moore examines how Star Wars' serialized structure encourages readers to fill the gaps between installments with their own imaginative play. Costumes are encouraged!
The First Wednesday lecture series, a collaboration between the Vermont Humanities Council and Vermont public libraries will be delivered in-person at Brooks Memorial Library, 224 Main St. Brattleboro on Wednesday, May 4th at 7pm.
