Emerita McNaron Leads Arb Book Club

Professor of English Emerita Toni McNaron will lead a six-session monthly book club at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with the focus, appropriately, on garden plots (that is, plots involving gardens). The Minneapolis Star Tribune features an interview with McNaron, who notes, "When you say 'garden,' white Western culture thinks of Eden. The garden is a mythic, iconic place." Authors will include Hawthorne, Silko, and Woolf, among others.
