This year's Summer Reading List is out. The theme is 'War and Peace,' what with all this war going on lately.
This year, with international conflict much on people’s minds, campus librarians, faculty, and staff were asked to offer suggestions on the theme of war and peace.The results are all over the place; I've only heard of maybe one or two. This is probably a good thing, especially compared to last year's trite 'censored books' list, which looked like High School Junior English. Not Honors English, either. This means a crop of books tangential to any concept of war, and a few of the post-colonialist dialogue thingies that make Professors do little happy leaps. But there's also what looks like a John le Carre-esque International Spy Thriller book and-- good choice!-- Starship Troopers. The (inevitable?) Holocaust accounts seem well-chosen, and many of the accounts-of-war books look well-researched. So, good show, Berkeley. Email This Post! |
