Nobel Laureate Lessing creates Kate Brown, a British woman facing the "empty nest syndrome," and explores the mythical truth that can be found in dreams. Brown must journey away from her home and the roles and responsibilities attached to it and toward her inner self for survival.
Oklahoma City University invites participants to make
these books come alive in the readings of this five-part series. At each
session, a Humanities scholar will make a 30-40 minute presentation on
the book in the context of the theme. Small group discussion will follow
with experienced discussion leaders. At the end, everyone will come
together for a brief wrap-up. Anyone interested in participating by
attending the sessions is encouraged to pre-register and borrow the
reading selections by calling Harbour Winn at 208-5472, emailing him at
hwinn@okcu.edu, or dropping by the Dulaney0Browne Library, Room 211 or

of Walker Center.) Information can also be found on the website of the
