There will be a change of venue for our next meeting! On Tuesday evening at 5:30 we will be gathering in the 3rd floor conference room 301 at the IU South Bend Franklin D. Schurz Library.
We will be discussing, Anatomy of a Soldier by Harry Parker. This novel takes a unique conceit of being told entirely from the perspective of 45 inanimate objects that play a role in the story of a soldier seriously injured by an IED. The novelist, Harry Parker, is a British soldier who lost both his legs in Afghanistan. He has since completed a postgraduate degree in fine art at the Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch. An article about the author can be found at: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/harry-parker-losing-my-legs-in-afghanistan-was-like-losing-a-lov/
Rodger Pinto, the campus President of the Student Veterans Organization will lead our discussion. His insights will give us a deeper understanding of a more recent conflict.
