Description

Richard Fox, Friends of the Library Member, will lead the book discussion of Sharp: The Women Who Made an Art of Having an Opinion by Michelle Dean

In Sharp, Michelle Dean explores the lives of ten women of vastly different backgrounds and points of view who all made a significant contribution to the cultural and intellectual history of America. These women—Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm—are united by what Dean calls “sharpness,” the ability to cut to the quick with precision of thought and wit.

Lunch will be provided for those attending in-person.

Friends of the Library book discussions are free and open to all CSU faculty, staff, and students and the general public.
