Phil Weinstein: Soul Error

Through a capital campaign launched in 2019, the Vineyard Haven Public Library Building Fund Inc. (VHPLBFI) is raising funds for the construction of an addition to the library building at 200 Main Street, to house an accessible multi-purpose meeting room with seating for up to 100, with up-to-date technology, appropriate lighting and acoustics, and optimal ventilation.  An open, spacious, and well-ventilated space for our community is more important than ever. The expanded and redesigned interior and exterior spaces will provide the flexibility the library requires to provide future services with greater safety and comfort.  Donations can be made online at www.vhlibrarybuildingfund.org or checks sent to VHPLBFI, PO Box 4961, Vineyard Haven MA 02568.

Reading with Phil Weinstein, Alexander Griswold Cummins Professor of English Emeritus at Swarthmore, to launch his newest book Soul-Error

Join us on Zoom for an evening with Phil Weinstein, the Alexander Griswold Cummins Professor of English Emeritus at Swarthmore College. Professor Weinstein will read from his newest book, Soul-Error, published May 2022. Soul-Error explores the ways in which, stubbornly yet creatively, we go through life misreading ourselves and our world. A Q&amp;A session will follow the reading.PHILIP WEINSTEIN grew up in the South, taught at Harvard and then at Swarthmore, and has written nine books of literary criticism. Much of his work focuses on William Faulkner, and his Becoming Faulkner received the Hugh Holman Award as the best book published on Southern literature in 2010. Since then, his writing has turned from a professional audience to a more inclusive one. His essay "Soul-Error" was chosen for Best American Essays 2020. That essay has blossomed into his new book of essays, entitled Soul-Error, that explore our gift and our curse: how we stubbornly misread--and creatively reread--ourselves and others as we move through our lives.Author website: https://www.philipweinsteinauthor.com/
