The Neverending Story of Pinocchio
A Summer Workshop with Elisabeth Ly Bell
Saturdays 1-2:30 beginning July 14th
Explore the history and continued relevance of Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) in this fascinating workshop with Elisabeth Bell, Visiting Scholar at Brown University’s Literary Arts Program. Participants will also read Robert Coover’s “fantastic, sad, and hilarious” adaptation - Pinocchio in Venice (1991) described as “a comedy thriller, a crime novel, a treasure hunt story, a riches-to-rags reversal – the luck and pluck-formula of the American Dream upended – a fairy tale gone awry and bawdy…”
Class size is limited. Please sign-up at the Rochambeau Reference Desk or call 272-3780.
