SUMMARY:Wilmette Public Library Program Asks 'Can We Trust Historical Fiction?'
DESCRIPTION:How does fiction help and hinder how we remember history? Is it possible to fictionalize history -- with the goal of making it compelling -- yet still retain the integrity of the past? What are the challenges and ethics of writing fiction about violence and genocide?\n\n\n\nIn an interactive lecture\, author Danny M. Cohen (Train\, The 19th Window\, Dead Ends) will explore these questions and discuss his own process for writing historical fiction.  The event is free and open to the public.\n\n\n\n?Dr. Cohen is Assistant Professor of Instruction at Northwestern University and founder of Unsilence\, an organization that creates empowering learning experiences for youth and the public and teaches educators and community leaders to spark dialogue\, support critical thinking\, and build empathy to inspire healing and social change.\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Wilmette Public Library's One Book\, Everybody Reads program\, an annual community reading and book discussion series that is featuring author Affinity Konar's Holocaust novel Mischling this spring. The One Book program is funded by Friends of the Wilmette Public Library.\n\n\n\nCommunity partners for the 2017 One Book program include The Book Stall\, Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center\, The Klezmer Music Foundation\, League of Women Voters of Wilmette\, Make It Better\, NS/Modern Luxury\, Rotary Club of Wilmette\, Rotary Club of Wilmette Harbor\, Sheridan Road\, Unsilence\, Village of Kenilworth\, Village of Wilmette\, Wilmette Beacon\, Wilmette/Kenilworth Chamber of Commerce\, Wilmette Life\, and Wilmette Public Schools District 39.\n\n\n\nFor more information about this year's One Book\, Everybody Reads program\, visit www.wilmettelibrary.info/onebook or call (847) 256-6930.
