The Maximum Security Book Club: Reading Literature in a Men's Prison Tapa blanda - 2017
de Mikita Brottman
Descripción de contraportada
On sabbatical from teaching literature to undergraduates, and wanting to educate a different kind of student, Mikita Brottman starts a book club with a group of convicts from the Jessup Correctional Institution in Maryland. She assigns them ten dark, challenging classics--including Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Shakespeare's Macbeth, Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Poe's
"The Black Cat," and Nabokov's Lolita--books that don't flinch from evoking the isolation of the human struggle, the pain of conflict, and the cost of transgression.
Gradually, the convicts open up about their lives and families, their disastrous choices, their guilt and loss. Brottman also discovers that life in a prison, while monotonous, is never without incident. The book club members struggle with their assigned readings in solitary confinement, on lockdown, in between factory shifts, in the hospital, and in the middle of the chaos of blasting televisions, incessant chatter, and the constant banging of metal doors.
Though The Maximum Security Book Club never loses sight of the moral issues raised by the selected readings, it refuses to back away from the unexpected insights offered by the company of these complex, difficult men. Brottman delivers a compelling, thoughtful analysis of literature--and prison life--unlike anything you have ever read before.
