Join us for an in-depth discussion of Susan Sontag's "The Aesthetics of Silence." Find a link to the essay in the event description or get a printout at the second-floor desk.

A writer and fierce cultural critic, Susan Sontag redefined how people engage with art and literature in the mid- to late 20th century. In "The Aesthetics of Silence," the first essay from her 1969 collection Styles of Radical Will, Sontag examines the role that silence plays in understanding the creation of art as a spiritual practice in an increasingly secular culture. Read the material provided and join us for an examination of the author and the essay. For a copy of the essay, click the link below or come up to the second-floor desk for a hard copy. Limited to 15 people.
