Attend the January session of our monthly Kelsey Book Club! This event is open to all adults who have an interest in fiction, mythology, and the ancient world. Learn more about this program at https://myumi.ch/Drn1Q.

Claire North’s Ithaca (2022) tells the story of Penelope, the queen of Ithaca. Set while Penelope is entertaining suitors and weaving (and unweaving) her father-in-law’s funeral shroud, this novel explores what it means to rule as a woman who must be seen not to rule at all.

Join us in Room 125 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Kafi Laramore-Josey, an educator at the U-M Museum of Art. Light refreshments will be served.
