Lots of True Grit events coming up this month--some of them this week! Here's what I have on the calendar:
March 30th--Jacqueline West leads a discussion and has a short presentation on reading True Grit as a Fort Smitherite. That's at 9:30 and possibly again at 12:30 in the Holt building. Call the English office for details or watch this space.
April 1st--True Grit film showing and panel discussions in Echols conference room at 9:30 and then again at 1:00. You don't want to miss this! This will be fun. Come to either showing.
April 7th--Faculty panel presentation at the Delta Symposium at Arkansas State on teaching True Grit and our various projects.
April 16th--A presentation by Roy Hill on the firearms used in the book. Time and place to be announced. This will be good. Call the English office for details or watch this space.
April 17th--An actual firing of some of the weapons at Roy Hill's place. This one makes me nervous. English faculty and live ammo? Hmm.
April 19th--Some of us will be talking with the Central Presbyterian Book Club about their reading of the novel.
April 26th--Sigma Tau Delta and high school readers of True Grit discussion at the Fort Smith Public Library at 6:30 pm. Great service project for Sigma Tau Delta!
Great events coming up. I'll fill in some of these details as I have them. Feel free to email me at jhardin@uafortsmith.edu if you need more.
I was able to watch most of the movie the other day and it was great! I'm looking forward to reading the book.
